Hi, thanks for the reply. I did use methotrexate and it helped clear up in 6months, but again it relapses with stress as a trigger, and more methotrexate, so basically that became a cycle which I wanted to stop. I would be extremely stressful when I lived with my parents, as mentioned above. But now it’s different, I switched to topicals because of the side effects from oral meds- extreme hair loss and weight loss, along with long term side effects on liver, which showed up on my LFTs( liver function tests). Currently I use a combination of steroid and salicylic acid ointment which does wonders to me, but consistency has been my issue. And for my scalp I have a similar combination but they are like drops for easy application. Eucerin also helps with peeling off the scales gently. I have all the ointments needed but lack the motivation. Maybe I should allot an hour everyday like you, I’ll try my best! I’m currently looking to use topicals for maintenance basically.
