Cimzia delayed rash

Lisa1982

I started cimzia 9 days ago- at the start the skin around the injection sites went white. Now on day 9 I woke up In the night with a sore throat and now I have a red rash around the injection sites which just came out of nowhere. Is this normal?

I suggest checking in with someone? There will be a pharmacists open today even though it's a bank holiday.

If it's worsening you can always call 111 you know that, but me I'd start with the pharmacists they know so much.

This is an old read only thread:
