be very careful with arava. i was on this one and had been losing skin from the genitalia and penis so bad that i went to a special dermatologist who told me to get off it immediately or i would have lost my scrotum, as it happened with someone else. I also was very itchy with this from the very start. Check your skin carefully especially in the private area. These RA drugs can be quite dangerous....kozlo52
