Hi @yikesspikes
Yes. my skin did change after my RA diagnosis. I hear this is common. I did get nodules on my elbows that I needed to get steroid injections to reduce them. Also my skin is very dry now. I don't know if it comes with age, the RA or RA medications, but I use a Cerave cream for extreme drynesss and it seems to help.

Hello
Have you noticed a connection with RA and your skin? My skin has been full of issues since I was diagnosed. My doctor has been giving me topical creams but I was curious if this was happening to anyone else?
thanks
