Just wondering if anyone else on Taltz has ever experienced a reaction after using a Hot Tub that you never previously experienced before Taltz?
I had been in Hot Tubs years ago with no reactions, since using Taltz I get extremely itchy rashy areas to my lower legs, arms, pits, and upper torso.
I spoke to my Taltz Nurse and she found no info on anyone complaining of this reaction so she did not think Taltz would be the cause.

I wonder if it could be a chemical irritant in the water, especially if it's a hotel hot tub or gym hot tub. Hotel and gym towels may also be washed in harsh detergents. Does Mike have a similar reaction to a hot bath in a regular bathtub at home?

Is it heat rash? I just had a look back at my (short) time on Taltz and there’s nothing about funny rashes, sorry..

Forest, this is about Mike…

it’s Tanya typing, but Mike has the psoriasis.
Personally I have never heard of something like that, the itchiness and so. So I think we have to blame indeed something else.
