Hi trying Acitretin for first time

[Meggy]

I hope that you enjoy yourself on here lassie and ask any questions you may have lurking in your mind  :

You said that your psoriasis is cleared because of the steroids you were given for your lungs, I’m sorry to say Meggy, the psoriasis will return I’m sorry to say but the Acitretin should help a little.

As for a moisturiser to help your skin, get yourself some raw virgin coconut oil and rub it gently in your skin, yes you may smell like a Bounty bar but it’s extremely good stuff Meggy, trust me, I’m a bear  

Anyway Meggy, hope that you come back and tell us how you’re doing

Hi GB  Thanks for the tip about the coconut oil - not a bad thing to smell like a Bounty bar so will definitely try this.  I take chest infections almost continually in the winter so have many prescriptions of predisnolene so in the winter I have periods when skin is pretty good and then times when it is worse than normal because of the flairs -  but they say it is an ill wind that blows nobody any good and it is a pleasure to not have the niggling skin problems.
