First, the good news — not feeling the injection is actually pretty common! Many MyPsoriasisTeam members have shared that their auto-injector or pre-filled injector was surprisingly painless. One member described it as simply twisting off the top, flipping a switch, and pushing a button, saying "you don't even feel it, literally."
So there's a good chance your device worked just fine! That said, some members do report a mild burning sensation, especially in the first few injections. Here's what experiences tend to look like across the board:
- Some feel nothing at all
- Others notice mild burning or stinging that fades over time
- A small number find injections more uncomfortable depending on the injection site
If you're still unsure whether the device worked correctly, it's worth calling your dermatologist or pharmacist. They can walk you through what to look for to confirm the dose was delivered properly. As for efficacy, MyPsoriasisTeam members report a range of experiences. Some saw dramatic clearing very quickly, while others noticed more gradual improvement. One member shared feeling about 15 percent better after just two weeks, which was a pleasant surprise for them.
Results can vary from person to person, so give it some time and keep your dermatologist in the loop about your progress.
