My friend awoke today with an extreme red face, blood blisters on the tip of his nose, and purple/red circles under his eyes. He feels fine but should he be concerned? He refuses to see a doctor and has no other skin concerns. He is an ex-addict, short, overweight, and a little hyperactive.

My husband has Crohn's disease and takes Humira once weekly. He has caught the influenza bug with symptoms like fever, runny nose, headache, and chills. Since Humira is an immunosuppressant drug, do I need to take him to a doctor right away? Is he at risk for complications?
