@leslieb52 Hi Leslie and everyone Appointment with dermatologist yesterday re my rash. Have been diagnosed with something called Granuloma annulare which may or may not be caused by the Prolia injections however, the doc really thought it unlikely as she's never seen it being caused by that but not to say it can't happen. I've had blood tests done this morning so whether or not that shows up with something else will have to wait and see. So as far as the Prolia goes I will see what my gp says next week but I'm hoping not to have to stop it as it's been fine in every other way but I'll be happy just to know there's no underlying condition causing it. I have some special cream that may help which she's prescribed but apparently this condition can just go away by itself in either months or years. It's really not that noticable only if I wear swim costume which I don't really care. Main concern was if it was caused by the prolia and got worse and travelled to my face! (which it hasn't even gone onto the front of my body - only insides of legs and arms and hips. Rash on arms is barely visable. Anyway, I'm going to do another search on this site of this condition and see what it says. In the meantime fellow Prolia users - rest easy and know that MOST people on Prolia have very little problem. Love Maggie from Australia
PS I'll let you all know how if the blood test comes up with anything but hopefully nothing serious!

@ausiemaggs73 Hey Mags, thanks for sharing. I was thinking about you. The only thing I can think about is that I am more tired than usual, but I don’t think that is Prolia. How many years or injections did it take for the rash to appear?
Hope the blood work gives you (us) some answers.
Stay well sisters.

While Granuloma annulare (GA) is not specifically listed as a common, direct side effect in Prolia manufacturer documentation, Prolia (denosumab) is known to cause various skin reactions, including eczema, dermatitis, and rashes. It is possible for medications that alter the immune system, like Prolia, to act as a trigger for skin conditions such as granuloma annulare.

Many medications that alter immune response may trigger Granuloma annulare.
