Should I take antibiotic if I have psoriasis ?

[Fred]

Thanks Fred. I'm more concerned with what I've read about psoriasis flares being brought on following a course of antibiotics. Heading to urgent care shortly.

Yes they can bring on a flare, but you have to weigh up the for and against. Is it best to fight the problem, or is best to get rid of the problem? Just because you know there is a possibility of a flare, it doesn't always mean you will be unfortunate enough to get one. Plus your Ear infection may cause a flare anyway as it's bothering you, catch 22 really just be careful what you take with Acitretin I can always check for interactions if you want.
