Hello,
I have Crohn's disease and have been on Remicade since December 2013. I have developed itchy bumps which have turned into blisters, scabs and red scaly marks on my scalp and arms. Some of it looks like eczema, but I am 56 and have never had eczema in my life. I called my GI doctor, who told me to call my primary care physician. I saw my PCP on Friday and he prescribed Cephalexin and took some blood. The antibiotic hasn't helped at all. I don't have a dermatologist, and to see one I would have to wait weeks for an appoinment as a new patient.
Has this happened to any of you, and if so, was there a treatment that worked? The itching is driving me mad.
Thanks.
