Hi,
My name is Georgiana. I have psoriasis for 20 years. I started treatment with Taltz 2 weeks ago. The results are incredible.After I made the first dose, the injection site was red, after which the skin returned to normal, but this morning I woke up with the places where the injections were injected again inflamed. Do I have to worry about it?

Hi Georgiana,
Well, I would not know if you would have to worry. Does it read somewhere in the flyer with the side-effects?
Injection places may sometimes react, simply because you penetrate your skin at that place and mostly in a few days, that will pass away again.
But I guess you are a bit worried, so in your place I would place a call to your dermatology department, tell them the problem and that you are bit worried and ask if they have experience with it.
Cheers,
Caroline.

Hello Georgiana, what you are describing does sound like one of the common side effect, See Here: [post=79648]
But I will move your post into a new thread as it may get picked up better by others.
Welcome to Psoriasis Club by yhe way.

I haven't started Taltz yet, however I do recall seeing that in the brochure. It said also say that "other reactions, such as redness, may happen after several days"
Also to contact your doctor if it bothers you.
I read somewhere that you could ice the area before injecting to see if it helps. Although that might have just been to minimize the stinging effect.
