plaque psoriasis
"I'm 34. I've had psoriasis for about 10 years now. I have had enough. I started taking methotrexate for a month along with some topical solutions for scalp and spots on my forehead.  That worked great, but it wasn't something I wanted to be on long term. Otezla is the least harmful when it comes to side effects.  It does not require routine lab/blood work.  You're also not really supposed to drink alcohol when taking methotrexate.  I love that Otezla does not lower you immune system and the ability to fight off infections.  I've been taking Otezla now for 2-3 weeks and my skin has remained clear other than a couple spots on my knees that are almost gone.  No real side effects. I will continue to take Otezla."
