The dam stuff made me depressive especially when they removed both my big toe nails because of the ingrowing nails it caused

How long did the peeling skin last for y’all ? I’ve been on Acitretin for 22 days now, 40 mg. My skin is extremely flaky.

I don't want to put you off Acitretin, but I was on it for around two years and the peeling never stopped with me. But as I was getting reasonably good clearance it was something I could live with

Great. I hate that. I literally sweep like 6 times a day.

No it's not pleasant. I was 'Lucky' with my peeling, it went through a cycle. 8 or 9 days of dry lips, 8 or 9 days of peeling hands, then the feet would get their turn. Then it would start all over again.   .
Not much worked for the feet, but plenty of lip balm and moisturizer helped a lot with the hands and lips.

Hi,
Began Acitretin in December 2018 (had been on it some years ago for 6 years).
Side effects are the same now as they were then. Head hair is getting thinner, lost all the hairs on my legs, and arm hair fading fast.
Finger nails split/crack and brake off (use nail hardner varnish). 
I also suffer with Gritty Eyes - like sand in them!

Stopped definitively Neotigason that i used for many , many years.
Serious problems with Ferritin and triglycerides.
My liver was "tired" and to clean it up i will need months or maybe years.
Acitretin stopped to help me and left me only damages.

I write this after many blood tests.

Take care.
