Newly diagnosed and about to start Acitretin

[Kentpatient]

Agreed.
My first flare up with P everywhere including my face put me on mtx, and it did work well for me, for about a year. I stopped because it stopped working.
In lower doses I didn’t really notice any side effects.

My dermatologist didn’t mention fumaderm at all but when I raised it, said I could try it. They seem to steer you away though, maybe it’s because you have to tweak doses and therefore see the patient more often? Not sure really.

I will ask about all the alternatives to make an informed decision (if they are prepared to offer anything else other mtx. Thank you
