Acitrecin - week 1

That's some big improvement Kelly it's certainly working yes the improvement is very noticeable
It's better to have a slow fix that lasts than a quick fix that won't last

Looking much better Kelly! I'll bet it feels a lot better too!

SO much better. I was on fire a few weeks ago

So is the itching getting less?

[kh924]

Hardly itching at all. Skin just feels dry. I hope this crap clears sooner rather than later. I have a feeling my skin will never go back to normal, especially on my arms where I have white circles where the pigment is gone. They look like burn marks

[jiml]

I'm sure you skin colour will come back, the main thing is to control the psoriasis although I have never used acetretin When I have cleared on other treatments my pigments seemed to go where the worst plaques were but the next summer it tanned as normal
I keep well moisturised with coconut oil that stops the skin drying out
If your white rings bother you, there are always spray tanning options .
Not a great help I know just my thoughts

Spray tan sounds like a good solution if/when I get clear enough to be able to wear a skirt and short sleeves again

Hopefully won't be necessary but it's always an option your time will come for feminine clothes again

Hi everyone,
Been a while and I wanted to update everyone.
Still seeing good results with this medication and no side effects to speak of
I'm not using any kind of steroid cream, oils, or lotions and not following any special diet.
Hope all here are well

Hello Kelly, can't speak for the rest but I'm fine thank you.

Thank you for updating as I'm sure it will help others, looking good and no side effects. That's great news and without having to stick with the creams and diet, keep it up.
