Can Enbrel Cause Petechia?
I have been developing pitikia with just the slightest bump. Some are very deep red. Most last at least 4-6 weeks. This only began about 3-4 months ago. Last evening, the skin on my forearms was burning. I take Enbrel every week for psoriasis, which works well. Could this be a possible side effect?
