Newbie asking for advice please

JuliaC

Recently started Hydroxychloroquine as diagnosed with RA and Osteo but yesterday noticed some small spots that look like blisters around my bottom? Could this be a side effect please?

Hello @JuliaC and welcome to the community. We are a friendly and supportive group and I hope that that will be your experience as well.

I understand that you have RA and Osteoarthritis and have been prescribed hydroxychloroquine and are wondering about side-effects. If you have any concerns of course you should raise them with your GP or consultant. Our website though contains a lot of useful information and I would recommend having a look around it and have put a couple of links in below which may be of interest.

With very best wishes
