Hi Jason and 
As Fred correctly said I am still using Methotrexate but I have found it to be totally useless at clearing my skin. It works wonders for my Psoriatic Arthritis though and I have had no worryingside effects after a year at 10mg per week.
For my skin I am using a UV machine. At the moment it is 50% UVB and 50% UVA but I plan on changing the tubes out to 100% UVB once I buy it from the guy I have borrowed it from.
That is working a treat in combination with dovobet & calcipotriol ointment.
Psoriasis is one of those conditions that acts differently for each person who has it... Not all treatments work for everyone so don't give up searching for the right one for you... I'm still searching after 32 years (but don't get downhearted at that) but have learned to accept my skin and never be ashamed of it.
