After 3 weeks of treatments my psoriasis totally gone with only white scars remain on my skin. She advise me also to stop using soap and shampoo instead I use VCO as a soap on my skin then not using harsh detergents on my clothes. I stop also using fabric conditioner. I'm really happy about the result then I started to expose my skin to the sun to balance the color of my skin, but after a month a red dot with itchy feeling started to grow again on my skin. I'm worried to take Mtx again although base on my blood test I'm still good with normal readings. In your experience did the Mtx need to take every 1 month to control our skin problem?
I'm sorry Jerry I'm not fully understanding how you are being treated .....
Am I right in assuming you mean 2x 2.5mg tablets ...is that right every 12 hours ? For 3 days then folic acid for six days .. Am I reading it correctly ...if so its a regime I don't recognise ..
Here we take our methotrexate of whatever dose is prescribed once a week in my case it was 20mg (10small tablets ) it was on a Monday and a folic acid tablet on a Friday ... It is repeated every week
