I'm just getting over a bad couple of weeks with a flare. The pain is finally subsiding but through this flare I've had some kind of red, prickly rash. In some places it looked just like a sunburn. And it's itchy in some places but not all. Has anyone else had this?

I received a rash and it turned out to be all the Gravol that I was taking for nausea (due to methotrexate). I have found that methotrexate has made my skin very sensitive to laundry detergents, the sun, and make up.

I go to the dermatologist yearly for a once over. I have had pre skin cancer zapped everytime. But if I see something weird I make an appointment. I have had rashes, but my rheumy said sometimes it's from the meds that suppress your immune system. I have a skin shampoo she gave me a prescription for. The picture is the rash I had and in a week of using the skin shampoo it was gone.

That does sound weird. Hopefully someone here has a answer for you. πŸ€—

it's mostly gone now and I'm not even sure if it's a rash. In someplaces its red but not itchy or bumpy and in other places its just a little red but bumpy. Like goosebumps. But now, it's gone. Very weird

Thanks for answering.

Do you still have the rash? You might want to check with your doctor. I have dry skin all of the time but I don't get a rash.πŸ€—
