Hi Jazzjazz and   to the forum you will find us to be a small but friendly bunch of psoriasis sufferers from around the world all dealing with the problem in different ways, and are happy to exchange views on the effectiveness of treatments...... and we accept and give support to each other.

I hope this site will give you as a dermatologist an insight into the psychological impact the disease has, I'm sure you are probably aware of most of these things but reading about them may be helpful in your chosen path.
I note that you prescribe methotrexate to others but have chosen to use Acetretin yourself  is there any reason ?  sorry for that question but I'm a methotrexate failure myself
