What Causes Swollen Legs And Rashes On The Torso While On Humira?
My brother in law has been on humira for plaque psoriasis and has just called me to say has red spoltches on his torso, and swollen legs. I told him to go to the ER. Can this be a side effect of the humira. He is also on med sfor HTN and cholesterol.

Hi,
The symptoms of your brother see to be related to an allergic reaction due to humira. I recommend you to stop this medication. I also recommend using antihistamines such as Benadryl daily. For the rash I suggest you to apply Calmine lotion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
