Well today I went to see the dermotologist. He took one look at my feet and decided to take me off acitretin as there wasn't much improvement and the side effects were bad! To refresh I have flushes, hair loss, severe itching and a fuzzy head (although that could be my ah ?. So he has requested some cream that only the hospital can make (whatever that is), requested another blood test (the one I had last week doesn't give something he wants to see) and he WANs to out me on Ciclosporin.
So I am not to take any more acitretin and do I am expecting another flare up any time soon??. He has asked to see me again in4 weeks but as I don't usually get to see him in 4 months when he requests it I am not holding my breath!
I would appreciate any advice/thoughts on all this. Am worried about these new meds as the side effects seem even worse and it seems I am susceptible to them. They never diminished with acitretin.
Thanks in advance

Hello SB good to see you again.
It would be best to start a new thread in Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis to ask as it may get more answers than here.
Regards.
