I am recently on Humira and and was going to get micro needling done, curious if this would be okay to do now?

Question

I've had micro needling done 6 times previously , also I am presently on Cyclosporine too.

Lucas Bryant, MD · Answer

Thanks for your question. As you are probably aware, the challenge is that you are at a higher risk of getting a facial bacterial or viral (shingles) infection after traumatic treatments like micro needling. I would certainly discuss this concern with your rheumatologist. They may alter your medication regimen for a brief period, recommend prophylactic antibiotics or antivirals, or they may recommend you avoid the procedure all together. If the rheumatologist gives you the thumbs up, then make sure your doctor, or the doctor overseeing your treating provider is also aware. Warm regards.
