I took acitretin for 3 months it was horrendous for me , I think I had every side effect it mentioned , I had scabs on my lips up my nose , sticky skin , and hair loss , plus my psoriasis became worse , but after the 3 months and after stopping the drug my psoriasis did improve but 1 year down the line I’m covered again and worse than ever , but my hair has grown back

Psorclear is a zinc and copper supplement. The user has written a book on how he healed his psoriasis. Ross Gambril is the author. It's available on Amazon.

I would try the psorclear for 3 months before trying something as strong as acitritin. I'm having a lot of success with it and I've only been on it for 5 months. I'm truly amazed!
