Hi
I've been on cimzia from 2 months and I have developed a sort of dry skin (although not itchy but red) on my boob (sorry tmi!)
I don't know if its related and I know I should get it checked out for the big C
I was just wondering if anyone has any experiance?
Many thanks

I got dry skin on cimzia but only on my limbs. As you said, you should get it checked out.0

No experience of cimzia, Gemma, but please do get it checked out just to be on the safe side.If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Thank you ladies
Slightly freaking out as I've tried body lotion and moisturiser to no avail and now the patch has changed again, I've now got a red mark in it.
Can only get an appointment with a female doctor for next fridày. Dint know what to do... Sit and wait? Swallow my dignity and go to see a male gp or what???
I hope it is the cimzia but it says skin rashes etc at injection sites!!! I don't inject my boob!

Hi Gemma x
This patch is obviously slightly freaking you out - I'd say, if you can get a quicker appointment with a male gp, then go for it. You may feel a little embarrassed, but the doc won't care a jot and it may put your mind to rest a lot sooner xToots x0
