Skyrizi side-effect: infernal itch ?
I started Skyrizi early in 2022. It cleared my psoriasis quickly and completely. Ten months later I developed severely itchy skin on my upper body: arms, shoulders, chest and inner thighs. It is not psoriasis but it has been difficult to treat. Antihistamine gel seems to provide relief.
I think I will have to stop the Skyrizi if it is indeed caused by the drug.
Has anybody else seen this apparent side-effect?
Oh no,
, I am sorry to hear that you've developed such itchy skin, especially when your psoriasis cleared so quickly and completely. I would definitely reach out to your doctor (if you haven't already) to determine if it is, in fact, the Skyrizi that's causing your itchy upper body or if it isn't something else. And hopefully, some of our community members can share any experience or insight they might have with this in the meantime. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member) I have used Skyrizi for almost 2 years. I've never experienced the itchy skin part. My skin sometimes feel dry after the injection. I hope this helps.
