Immuran and the sun?
I have been on Immuran for going on 3 years.
I recently got a bit sunburnt after going to the Dutch festival, but I haven't gotten sunburn, I have weird lumps on my collarbone that almost look like pimples that aren't?
I am on 50mgs/day if that helps, and I am also on monthly transfusion of Kiovig.

Hi Maddison,
It could just be a heat rash. Is it sore? Are they itchy?
I think probably a bit of sunburn and rash from heat and sweat.
You could try some aloe vera on it, or maybe some powder.
Someone else may have an idea for you

Hey Michelle,
I asked my specialist about it and he said that it may be something to do with glandular fever, but thougt it was weird that is on both sides of my body or something? It has like spread and is in a patch on the side of my face near my hairline. He said not to touch anything just yet in fear of infection.
But they tend to come up after I get my monthly Kiovig transfusion as well? So I'm not sure if it has something to do with that either.

It does sound more like a rash of some sort possibly an allergy to the kiovig. I haven't heard of anyone having this treatment with WG.
Do you get a not of infections? - I read up about it when it was thought that I had Lymphocyctic Leukemia
Don't know about glandular fever - I had that many years ago and my daughter had it in her teens, but I don't ever recall a rash.
It could be shingles which is a nerve thing and could be aggravated when you get the kiovig.
I have no experience whatsoever in this field, so my best idea would be to go to your family doc and see what they think.
Keep Smiling
Michelle
