" Hi. I was on Humira for 8 months and not only did my skin not clear up, it got increasingly worse. You should definitely contact your doctor to make sure you're not allergic to something in the injection. I just got my first injection of a brand new drug, today, called Stelara. It attacks a whole other part of the immune system. I'm hoping it works! Anyway, I hope everything works out for you! "
