Anti-TNF medication and HPV/molluscum contagiosum - 08/22/17 10:22 PM
Hello guys,
I am new to the forum and this is my first post here. I have been recently diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis and put on Humira approximately 5 months ago. It has definitely helped in reducing (almost eradicating) the pain; however, maybe a month ago I started having issues with recurrent human papilloma virus (genital warts) and molluscum contagiosum in the genital area. I've never had issues with that prior to starting Humira. I was wondering if there is anyone in this forum that has experienced this as a side effect of any anti-tnf meds, and how did they deal with it. Is discontinuation of Humira the only way to tackle this? Please, if anyone has any experience, share, because this is really depressing me, and almost putting me to the point where I was 5 months ago. Thank you!
