Newly diagnosed and about to start Acitretin

Hi KP  it seems as if you didn't get good advice from your dermatologist, it must have been deflating to hear that he didn't think you could get clearance ....it's not true.....it's true it's not cureable but it should be possible to find a drug to get you clear there are many alternatives you could be offered.

Do not accept that you can't get clear,  I'm sure you can. Read plenty here in prescribed treatment section Prescribed Treatments For Psoriasis and also read other members threads you will find most get a level of clearance they are happy with ....it is a condition for life ...but there are so many advances in medication that I'm surprised that a dermatologist gave you such a negative vibe ...

Thank you. I was surprised too as he's been very positive before but I think maybe it had spread so much he thought he should manage my expectations. My face is better than it was but niwhere near what I would feel happy with...it's now sunburnt look instead of actual burns look and a lot of the swelling has reduced. But I can't accept it will stay like this so I will keep asking
