Has anyone been prescribed methotrexate for psoriasis? I went to see the dermatologist today and this is an option I may take. It is a bit worrying when you google it. She said I would have my bloods monitored while on it and if anything showed up could come off it immediately.
If you have been on it - what were the side effects and did it actually get your psoriasis under control? I have it all over my body and am completetly fed up. Previously have had light therapy with reasonable success but it came back pretty fast. Also the doctor noticed that my lower leg is showing some skin thinning from use of ointment with steroids in.
I have to go out for a couple of hours but will check this thread on my return.
