Hi Woolley
I really don't want to be the fly in the ointment but from my experience, once I had to stop Acitretin due to my liver complaining it took next to no time for my P to come back and continue to get worse with a vengance.
Eventually I was offered MTX. Like you I really really didn't want to go on it, but I have. Now I do like the odd gargle and it was a proper dampener giving up but the MTX does seem to be doing something and I have not had any side effects. Which is more than I could say for the Acitretin. My advice is don't dismiss it out of hand, it may just do the job. I just hope your your Ps keeps away for a long time. Nice shiney hands by the way
