Hi Everyone!
Ive woken up this morning with black like bruising under my armpits and down my arms a bit too! Basically the area i would spray my deodorant!
Im not sure if it is a reaction to going out in the sun lately and the tablets im on ( Hydroxycloroquine and Methotrexate) and i was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this????
It could just be to do with my deodorant, although it is not inflammed, its just black!!!!!
If anyone can shed any light, id appreciate it.
Feel fed up as i just want to wake up one day and everything is ok, but it never seems to happen!!!!!!! :x

interesting one this what colour top did you have on yesterday??? i take hydroxy and not had this well will look at armpits just to check lol :oops: no they normal hope some one knows the answer valval0

This is an odd one! At first I assumed bruising but you don't mention having done anything to damage it.
I've taken meth & hydroxy for years and, though one does have to monitor excessive bruising with them, this does seem a bit sudden and confined to one area. However, if you think you have cause to be bruised there, and there is a lot, maybe you should get it checked out.
Val might have a point. Did you wear something black with potentially leaky dye yesterday?
If you suspect your deodorant then get another asap.
Sorry I can't be more help.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

i take it the area doesnt hurt? im sorry i have no idea, ive never heard of this before but im new to the whole mtx med and am still learning about side effects. i would be interested to know what has happened.
hope you're ok?? gentle hugs xx0 -
That is strange Emma :?
I am also on hydroxy methotrexate but have never experienced black underarms.
I think I would change my deodorant, and if it is still there in a couple of days I would certainly get it checked out.
Take care

out was that slinky little black ninety you wore last night :shock:
Ooops, I wasn't supposed to mention that was I?
Hope it turns out just to be the clothing hun.
And not what Doctor Del had diagnosed lol

Hope its sorted now and turned out to be the top. For what its worth did something similar the other week - had a little panic, them rememberd I had eaten beetroot (I'm sure you know what I mean). :oops:0

Hi folks! I'm embarrassed to say I think it was the top!! It is a new top so I think the dye must have come off!! Phew, what a relief, he he:)
And delboy, I just read what I wrote and it's meant to say I hope it ISN'T bubonic plague!!!! LOL
So panic over! Thanks everyone for your support through my panic!!!!!LOVE EMMA X0 -
Better a spot of embarassment than bubonic plague, eh?If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Glad all is well - I think you better wash THAT T shirt separately incase it wrecks a load :shock:

Hi,
Spoke to a fellow patient at my latest rheum clinic and she told me that Hydro had completely changed her skin pigmentation. She looked as if she had been in Jamaica for a month when she would never have usually changed colour in the sun. So it could be the med.0
