Has anyone tried CBD oil as a topical treatment for pustular psoriasis, and what should you know about Acitretin?
Some MyPsoriasisTeam members have tried CBD oil topically for pustular psoriasis. One member specifically mentioned using CBD oil to treat palmoplantar pustular psoriasis on their palms and feet. Others have found hemp creams helpful for relieving burning sensations.
Results vary among members. Some found CBD products helpful for numbing discomfort, while others experienced no improvement. One member noted that CBD balm worked better when combined with other treatments for anti-inflammatory benefits.
About Acitretin for pustular psoriasis:
Acitretin is an oral retinoid medication used to treat psoriasis, including pustular forms. It's taken as a pill, not an injection. This medication works differently than biologics, which are the injectable options you might prefer.
Before starting Acitretin, discuss these important points with your doctor:
- Potential side effects and what to monitor
- Whether you're a candidate for biologic injections instead
- How Acitretin compares to other treatment options for your specific type of pustular psoriasis
- Any medication interactions or health considerations
If you prefer injectable treatments, ask your doctor about biologic medications, which are available as injections and are also used to treat pustular psoriasis.
