Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The Humira is an inhibitor of TNF (tumor necrosis factor), thereby affect the immune system, lower the ability to fight infections and cause variety of side effects, one of the common is skin eruptions in form of rashes. I recommend to stop its further doses and consult your treating doctor for other alternative molecule.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
