Hi folks,
Had a dermatology appointment today and figured I'd update everyone. While I am not 100% clear I'd say I am 90% clear with a few persistent spots. My cholesterol and triglycerides are only slightly elevated which is a side effect of the medication. My doctor does not feel that I need to be on medication to lower them or to stop taking the Acitretin. He knows I will not use steroid cream. he gave me a prescription for vitamin D cream. Here in the states prescription vitamin D cream is free so I'm looking forward to getting it and giving it a try. He also suggested I try something called DHS zinc shampoo. Has anyone here used it? I have color treated hair and I need to use shampoos that won't strip the color out of my hair too quickly. That's about it for now. Hope you're all doing well
