How are you finding it otherwise? My brother is on this for his eczema (his is more severe than mine)I’ve tried this but mine is mostly facial and scalp psoriasis and I ended up with a raging ear infection from trying to wash the enstilar out my hairit’s meant to be amazing for the rest of the body though.
I’m 3 months into methotrexate and no change so far :-(
Apart from no change in my skin it’s been fine. I’ve been very lucky to not have any side effects. Which I’m gutted about because it would’ve been perfect had it of made any changes to my skin! I’m due a review in the next week or two so I’ll see what the next step is hopefully.How are you finding it otherwise? My brother is on this for his eczema (his is more severe than mine)
thank you, good luck with your review! I know how annoying it is to get your hopes up on something and it doesn’t workApart from no change in my skin it’s been fine.

I too have psa and scalp psoriasis plus other issues, been on methotrexate for 4 years......it’s helped me so much.I’ve tried this but mine is mostly facial and scalp psoriasis and I ended up with a raging ear infection from trying to wash the enstilar out my hairit’s meant to be amazing for the rest of the body though.

It hasn’t helped at all. They’ve switched my over to injections as they think I might not be absorbing it orally due to another medical condition I have! They’ve had to move me down to 10mg to start with. I don’t have much hope to be honest with you!I too have psa and scalp psoriasis plus other issues, been on methotrexate for 4 years......it’s helped me so much.
All dose changes including starting it initially take 3 months to kick in....,how are you finding it now?
Thank you. I used to have this type of eczema a lot on my feet when I was little. It was awful. Haven’t had it in years and about 3 months ago it cropped up on my finger. I’ve been keeping it moisturised and trying not to scratch. If it gets worse I’ll try and get some of that stuff. I dread it spreading.I have a type of eczema called Pomphylox (Greek word for bubbles) - or more commonly dyshidrotic eczema. It affects the hands and soles of the feet. It looks awful - little bubbles beneath the skin. It all peels and can be really sore.
I just put this in here as no one else has mentioned it. It may be useful for someone.
At least you've got an option if it gets worse. The doctor told me that this type of eczema is hard to diagnose and to treat. He was quite excited about it and showed me pictures from his text book.Thank you. I used to have this type of eczema a lot on my feet when I was little. It was awful.

How strange as when you look at it it’s clear that there is a bubble under the skin. I guess by the time someone has gone to the doctor it’s gone from the bubbles to the skin cracking and starting to peel. It looks so innocuous to begin with and then...At least you've got an option if it gets worse. The doctor told me that this type of eczema is hard to diagnose and to treat.

Yes exactly. At the bubbles stage it's reasonably obvious what it is - if you have a clued up GP. Once it goes past that stage it resembles any other type of skin disease. I did go at the bubbles stage as it looked weird to me and was very itchy.How strange as when you look at it it’s clear that there is a bubble under the skin.

Oh no, that’s such a shame. I hope the injections help!It hasn’t helped at all.

The next step is Biologics which is kind of annoying since I’ve had no side effects taking MTX :-(
Ugh. I've had this in the past. Feet and hsnds! So sore. I currently have a small patch of psoriasis trying to start again on my leg but seem to be controlling it so far. Elbows still clear! I find this really crazy after decades of it there. I can only assume Vit D is working.I have a type of eczema called Pomphylox (Greek word for bubbles) - or more commonly dyshidrotic eczema.

I actually only get in on my right foot now but I was prescribed Diprosalic cream, which always clears it up quickly. Thank goodness. I never want to be without this cream.
It is good for scaly type of eczema and unlike some steroids does not thin the skin.

Thanks for the recommendationI suffer awfully and i’ve found other than prescription creams, vaseline aloe vera works wonders! It’s so soothing and doesn’t irritate my skin at all. Always feel so much better after using it!!

I'm glad you've found out what it is exactly. My GP became quite excited when he saw my foot. He even brought out his text book to show me pictures. Apparently it's hard to get an accurate diagnosis. Hopefully, the cream I mentioned will sort you out too.Oh my gosh. This is what I have on my foot and it's been bad for around 6 years now. I suffer with psoriasis so the GP always says its that... quick google and this is exactly what it is.
