Oooh jayniepops you have been through the mill and are still having problems. Can't help with the bleeding problems 
(oh ignore me blushing ) but it could be the onset of early menopause brought on by stress .. I don't think the acetretin would be the cause.
I like you had a terrible time on methotrexate.. And although it worked the feeling constantly down and nausea prompted me to ask for a change..
I was lucky I was offered acetretin or Fumaderm and I opted for Fumaderm for no other reason than I could pronounce it
What a lucky day that was for me it took it a while to clear but I can say I have never been this clear in all my adult life .
I'm not saying acetretin is not good because we have several users on this forum and it is giving them clearance.... I don't think you said how long you have been on it... But you will need to persevere and moisturise plenty.
There isn't really a quick fix although several members on biological treatments have had fast results...
I would say stick with the acetretin if you haven't been on it for long
You should soon see an improvement if you are getting the side effects you have with dryness
I suggest you read through Kelly's thread here Acitrecin - week 1 she has had similar experience with acetretin
Try to come back here often it really helps to talk and here you can do that securely and there is usually someone around to answer any query or just to chat with in the off topic section
Good luck
