Methotrexate decision
Posted Mon 9 Nov 2026 18.19 by Sara
I have suffered bad with scalp psoriasis for 30 years now, finally see a dermatologist after all this time, They have suggested I think about trying methotrexate. I am so fed up with trying creams and shampoos now but it's a hard decision to make as the liver and kidney part is putting me off. Just some help would be good

When you first go on Methotrexate you should be on regular blood tests (2 weekly to start with is normal I think) so any impact on your liver or kidneys should be picked up pretty quickly.
I didn't have a great experience with Methotrexate - great for the skin, but lousy for my arthritis - but it works well for a lot of people.
