RE: RIBA rash???

I got it also, mostly on my lower legs and forearms.  It acutally got worse when i finished the incivek, i was hoping it would get better, but it went the other way.  It dosen't really itch though, my skin in general feels like i got bugs inside me gnawing their way out. Sarna helps sum, but not complete relief.

 Yeah. I had that a bit.  I thought my skin problems would be over when I finished Incivek, but the itching and bumps just got worse.  I realized most of my skin problems were from the Riba.  I also reduced my water consumption a bit since I was off the Incivek.  Big mistake, the bad effects were immediate.  Water helps your skin more than you think, since it is moisturized from the inside out.

Hang in there,

Brad
