Hi All, I hope your are all well and having a fantastic day.
I was googling my plaques off looking for info about acitretin when I came across this place and thought I should dip my toes in the water, so I guess I should do a brief bio;
I live in Tasmania, that tiny triangular island at the bottom of the Australian mainland and I have had plaque psoriasis for about 20 years. In that time I have ended up trying most treatments "snake oil" and otherwise. After a massive flare up while on methotrexate over the past 10-12 months, I returned to my dermatologist who listened to my plea and suggested we try acitretin along with returning to UVB treatment and continuing with topicals. So far so good apart from spending days 2 and 3 shedding skin like a demented snake, I have now reached day 6 and I'm seeing some positive results.
Anyway enough about me..... what treatments have everyone else seen rapid results from?
