@BanuAkaolum I didn’t have hair loss when I was on Methotrexate, but I took eight 2.5mg. tablets once a week and one 5mg. Folic Acid the other six days. I had no side effects with Methotrexate but had to stop taking it long term because I have fatty liver and Methotrexate could eventually affect it.

This is very true . Doctors don't talk much about vit d or nutrition re psoriasis . I wonder where all the brilliant derms are

I am not sure I read that right but are you only taking the folic acid 2 days a week? I took it every day other than methotrexate day. I didn’t have any problem losing my hair. Maybe check with your doctor.

Hi @A MyPsoriasisTeam Member

I don’t take methotrexate but have read lots of people who do also take a supplement called Biotin. One friend takes 5000mcg three of four times a day. Another friend uses a hair care system called Nutrafol which is pill supplements and a topical serum for hair loss. Worth reading reviews and searching for these words AND methotrexate online. Beyond that, I wrote my profile Story to share what’s worked for me.

Towards the bottom of my Story is a section about Vitamin D, Sunlight and Nutrition. Everyone with any form of P will benefit from getting their Vitamin D and Fatty Acid levels tested. Few Drs talk about nutrition or D but each can improve P a great deal. Changing how I eat after taking the Fatty Acids test has really helped inflammation. I share scientific studies that explain and back this up, hoping others will learn what doctors should be telling us.
