Zits and cysts!

Or spots if you want to be polite. Does anyone else suffer from them with the arthritis. Just plain old adolescent type spots! In the great scheme of things hardly a tale of woe, but they crop up more than when I was a teenager both in my face and body.

And cysts in the mouth. Are these related too? Just an irritant for the most part but I seem to have three or four recurring ones that take it in shifts to annoy me in on my soft palate. First one then the other. Luckily they are small and superficial - they rupture in a day or two, heal up, and then back they come again a month later! They are literally 1mm in size and it’s hard to tell what they are unless you take a photo and then blow it up, and then it’s obvious.

I get more spots when my pain is bad… I also get spots on my hands if my fingers are bothering me… I get them in my hair on the area’s most affected by psoriasis… I’ve been wondering if it isn’t very mild pustular psoriasis…

Could be. I don’t know. These are just plain old spots I think, or yellow heads.

I got “zits” araound hair folicles when I was on Otezla, its a known SE. They went away when I switched to Enbrel.
