Hi Kelly! So glad to hear things are still going well for you.
I stopped the UV treatments and went off meds for about a month (new year, new deductibles, lots of other expenses and I was just fed up giving people money). I actually did pretty well (started noticing a few bumps here and there but no out right scaling) but know I was playing with fire so went back on the Acitretin. I'm taking it 3x week and it's doing it's job so no complaints. It definitely has improved my self esteem, as you say, no more itching and scratching. I'm also able to wear dark colors again!! No more shoulders white from the scaling.
