I have started Remicade infusions a month ago and starting what I thought was the usual eczema reaction from the weather change. But its worse than it ever has been and seems to be spreading. Its horrible. tight and itchy and burning. Please let me know if you have had a similiar reaction to remicade? Thanks!

I had the same problem with generic relafen and I stopped taking it. I am having enough problems, I don't need to add something else. It was all over my face, ears, neck and chest. I don't have eczema. Ask your doctor to try you on something else. Good luck!

Thanks, took a double dose of (every 4 hours) of benedryl. Helped clear it up somewhat. But I'm suspicious of the Remicade. Will have to call the Rheumy on Monday. Not happy, because that is a pretty penny to have this happen : ( !
