停掉甲氨蝶呤后银屑病会复发吗，可以治愈银屑病吗？

Psoriasis is a common relapsing, chronic and inflammatory skin disease, which is related to various pathogenic factors such as infection, genetics, metabolic disorders, immune dysfunction, endocrine disorders and external stimulation. The clinical manifestations of patients are dry, erythematous and scaly plaques of varying sizes and well-defined boundaries, and silver-white lamellar scales covering the skin lesions. At present, the medical community has not found a specific drug for the treatment of psoriasis. Symptomatic treatment is the main treatment measure to quickly and effectively control the area of ​​skin lesions, reduce itching and prevent recurrence. It is the most commonly used drug to treat severe psoriasis. So, will psoriasis relapse after stopping methotrexate? Can psoriasis be cured?

Will psoriasis come back after stopping methotrexate?

It is a relatively common phenomenon that psoriasis will relapse after stopping methotrexate. Because psoriasis has a protracted course and is prone to recurrence, the possibility of recurrence cannot be ruled out after stopping the use of the drug.

Can methotrexate cure psoriasis?

Methotrexate is an anti-folic acid anti-tumor drug. It is mainly suitable for the treatment of more severe pustular psoriasis, joint psoriasis, and erythrodermic psoriasis. Studies have confirmed that for severe psoriasis, the cure rate of methotrexate can reach 95%, and the clinical efficacy is certain.

Finally, I would like to remind all patients who are taking methotrexate. Due to the current development of the Internet, there are often a lot of gossips. For example, as long as you use the drug multiple times, you can get a higher therapeutic effect. For example, as long as you lower the dose of the drug, you don't have to worry about side effects. These are all baseless. Only taking the medicine according to the doctor's instructions is the most beneficial to you.
