Within your healthcare system, are you able to refuse a medication? Is it difficult to see a different doctor? Patients are more informed, now, than a few decades ago. I hope you have a voice in this. It was an intern who told you MTX was next step, possibly an intern who has not yet learned to listen to a patient's concerns.
I'm sorry you're building a tolerance to Enstilar and having even more new scales appear. I think the topical steroid is the culprit for the rashes spreading.
I'm taking augmented betamethasone, which is one of the ingredients in your Enstilar. And I used it from April to August until I had thinning skin and bleeding. I also had new rashes appearing beyond the original. Then I quit, suddenly. (I learned here that you are not supposed to quit suddenly.) More new rashes appeared. While trying to help with diet and coconut oil only, they worsened badly. Now I'm using it, again, only for a short while (1.5 to 2 weeks) and will try tapering off.
Keep up your good work on the dietary changes. Your other body systems beyond your skin are benefitting, too. You are inspiring!
