Hi Philipp and a warm welcom to the club and to the Acitretin Gang 
.
Ive been on it since April and the peeling of hands and feet started about 2 weeks into the course along with hidiously dry lips. Then I went from 25mg to 30mg a day and the peeling got worse.
First the good news the dry lips are abating - very slowly and the Ps has significantly imroved to the point of a few small flaky bits and some discoloration where the big blotches used to be.
And now the bad the peeling is just as bad as it was when i first started and on the feet in particular it can become quite uncomfortable. I just hope it clears up soon. I have been informed that it should
.
Do you get the sticky skin when you get wet?
The headaches are unfortunaetly a common side effect.
Although the side effects can be a bit of a nuisance stick with it as the results are worth it even tough it is not a quick fix.
Any questions please dont hesitate to ask, there will always be somebody around with an honest answer
