    hi!
    what tablets / meds are you on?
    i've found since my med changed i'm getting spots to!
    i upped my leflunamide to 20mg and started on steroids 15mg daily, so not sure which caused the spots!

    Hi John :)

    Sorry I cannot help you with the outbreak of spots that you have noticed but just wished to say hello to you :)

    I hope they disappear as quickly as they appeared.

    Luv

    Steroids and Mtx can both give you spots. There is an antibiotic cream you can get on prescription from your gp to deal with it. works well.
