Hi Everyone,
I've suffered with Psoriasis for 30 years and tried all sorts of lotions, creams PUVA treatment, cyclosporian and lastly MTX which worked fantastically, the only thing to have every cleared my psoriasis up. Sadly I've been taken off of it as was affecting my liver to much 3 months of bad blood results ending in derm doctor saying I couldn't have it anymore fall stop.
So I have been moved on Acitretin only been on it 2 weeks today my psoriasis have gone crazy covered badly especially my lower legs they feel like they are burning now and itchy which I have never suffered with, and my lips have gone so dry and sore.
Am worried as only 2 weeks in and already getting side effects, will these get worse or better in other peoples opinions?
Thinking of stopping the drug as cant believe just how bad they have become right on top of Christmas
Any advise greatly appreciated xx
