Yes I believe I was allergic to Tremfya. Psoriasis got much worse while taking it, and I was constantly itchy. I ended up also getting impetigo all over my arms while on Tremfya which is a skin infection. Yet my dermatologist had me continue to take it for 12 weeks as he didn’t want me to give up on it so soon. And he originally said that the lesions on my arms were flea bites from my dogs! Wtf!? Awful!

I have injection site reaction to Tremfya. I wouldn't call it hives though. Turns red and rash like, itches like mad, gets hot, I have to keep ice on it for DAYS. Its kinda crazy. You should call your doctor and tell them what's going on. I went in and showed mine.
