How long did the peeling skin last for y’all ? I’ve been on Acitretin for 22 days now, 40 mg. My skin is extremely flaky.

I don't want to put you off Acitretin, but I was on it for around two years and the peeling never stopped with me. But as I was getting reasonably good clearance it was something I could live with

Great. I hate that. I literally sweep like 6 times a day.

No it's not pleasant. I was 'Lucky' with my peeling, it went through a cycle. 8 or 9 days of dry lips, 8 or 9 days of peeling hands, then the feet would get their turn. Then it would start all over again.  Confused .
Not much worked for the feet, but plenty of lip balm and moisturizer helped a lot with the hands and lips.

Hi,
Began Acitretin in December 2018 (had been on it some years ago for 6 years).
Side effects are the same now as they were then. Head hair is getting thinner, lost all the hairs on my legs, and arm hair fading fast.
Finger nails split/crack and brake off (use nail hardner varnish). 
I also suffer with Gritty Eyes - like sand in them!

Stopped definitively Neotigason that i used for many , many years.
Serious problems with Ferritin and triglycerides.
My liver was "tired" and to clean it up i will need months or maybe years.
Acitretin stopped to help me and left me only damages.

I write this after many blood tests.

Take care.
