A lot of Humira Injection sites are in the stomach and the front of the the thighs. Do not inject Humira through clothing, it must be injected through skin.Do Not See also:

inject where your skin is tender, bruised, red or hard, or where you have scars or stretch marks. If you choose the stomach, avoid at least two inches from navel. Choose a different site each time you inject, each new injection should be given at least 1 inch from the previous site. Some people find it helps to apply a small ice pack to the injection site for 2-3 minutes before cleansing the skin with alcohol, this may help decrease the sensation of injecting. The most common areas are around the stomach and the front of the thighs, unless doctor's permission, please don;t try any other spot.
