Rashes: Tumor necrosis factor inhibitors, including Humira, can be associated with different kinds of rashes. Some are injection site reactions; others are reactions due to an inflammation of the skin - psoriasiform reactions. Call your prescribing doctor to evaluate the rash. Meanwhile, Benadryl, Tylenol and cool compresses can help.
