hi everyone, I suffer from psoriatic arthritis - have done since I was on my teens.. not 42. My arthritis has gone now for a long time but my psoriasis I have sudden flare ups. I take methotrexate injections at home for my arthritis which help my psoriasis as far as I know. For the past 5 weeks I’ve not been taking them for a number of reasons,my psoriasis has flared up all over. Could that be the reason why?

hi I use methotrexate once a week for my psoriasis along with folic acid and it really does help but noticed when I wasn`t using my creams regular it came back as bad as ever so it`s important to keep using the creams as well.
