[split] Acitretin

[jiml]

Hi congrats kelly I started ACITRETIN in November on 50mg which after the plaques whent they dropped it to 40mg a day been on 40 for about 6 weeks however I've started getting the plaques come bk also a lot of side effects dry lips n nose very sticky skin lots of pealing hands an feet also my hair is starting to fall out which worries me the most as I've got scalp Psoriosis as well got an appointment tomorrow so fingers crossed they can help

If it's not agreeing with you, and the plaques are returning, they will possibly up the dose again. Although if you are having bad side effects. Perhaps they will change your medication for something like mine Fumaderm which is less toxic to your system. Or they may decide a biological drug for you ..... Read plenty here before your appointment so you are armed and in a position of knowledge
Good luck
Jim
