Acitretin/Neotigason & PUVA experience

[tarny79]

Hi Tarny and   to the club .... I think it's shameful that a dermatologist told you puva was a last resort, when in fact it's one of the early treatments and there are so many more, here you can browse through the threads and see other members experiences and follow the news boards to hear the latest news on treatments

It's so good that the Acetretin is working so well for you and hope it keeps you clear for many years

Thank you! Actually, this forum was one of the few places where I found good info on Acitretin before I started the medication - it was very helpful for me :-)

My former dermatologist told me that PUVA was my only option, and that my psoriasis wasn't bad enough for any oral medication. But my new dermatologist told me that oral medication, such as Acitretin, was of similar strength in treatment to PUVA. Also, because PUVA wasn't working anymore, she suggested that I try something else. So I'm very glad I got an opinion from a different doctor!
