Hi Liz
I have had a similar thing while on holiday rash everywhere and im convinced it was the sun as it does say mxt make you more sensitive to sunlight! I have olive skin and have burnt so bad lately im on factor 50 i cant stand sitting in it and i was a tanorexic!!! I alos have rash on my elbows and under my arm almose like a psoriasis type rash my consultant cant explain that one, i think bodies react differenty we are on some harsh tablets i always have plenty of sudocrem in the house xx

I have a mixture of rashes one was like psoriasis .Tests i had via the dermoislst and the rhumiloist togetother and biposy came to nothing .?
the vit d cream cant rembember the name used for 4 weeks will clear it .The rash will go from the middle .The cream came from the dermotligy nurse in the commtiy there are other creams with striod in .
it was thought i could have pa with the r.a i might still have as i have overlaps but even with 2 docs togetor they could not put finger on it .

i have used fator 50 for years sometimes factor 60 if i can get it .I also have roseasa and ance roseasa on face and dermtits face and scalp
Caused by the iummue systm not working right but has nothing to do with R.A or other things i have as had battary of tests
Christine .Hope this helps but got refured to the top dermolist from her man down under

Hi Liz,After taking MTX for two weeks I came out in a red,itchy rash on my arms(from elbows to wrists). Rang my GP and he said to stop taking the MTX as I was due to see the consultant two weeks later.When I saw the consultant he said it could be a reaction with the MTX to sunshine and he put me back on MTX but lowered the dose by half and I've had no probs since.However I do now use a high factor sunscreen when out in the sun.I found the best thing for getting rid of the rash was Eurax cream which can be bought over the counter at most chemists. Brenda.

I came out in a rash last night, all round my neck, bumpy and itchy. I've put Sudocrem on it, will see how it responds.
