Acitretin sure is a funny drug. The first 3 weeks on an increased dosage for the flare, I saw no results and was really discouraged over the recurrence of flakes. Start of Week 4 my lips peeled pretty bad. Now one day short of a full month, I noticed I can no longer peel any of the flakes off which means the skin is not turning over and it's healing. On Thursday I could still peel my skin off and just 4 days later I no longer can. It seems all the healing has taken place within the last few days. Even the crack on my ear I complained about only a few days ago here is now healed. Crazy.
