I noticed an improvement in my skin after about 2 months.

They tell us that it can take up to 12 weeks before we notice any difference

Thank you could you tell me if your skin went worse before it started getting better mines on my face and red and burning and dry at the mo

Did your skin get worse before it started to get better 

Did your skin get worse before it got better 

Michelle, you need to talk to your Consultant about this

Methotrexate may cause a severe rash that can be life-threatening. If you develop a rash, blisters or a fever, call your doctor or specialist nurse immediately.

Thank you spoke to my doctor and told me to keep taking them and maybe need steroids 

I'm glad you have spoken to your doctor Michelle.

I have a different skin condition from you and was on steroids for a couple of years before starting the MTX, then spent the 3rd year tapering and coming off the steroids but I needed them to start with.
