Acitretin is an oral retinoid (vitamin A derivative). A brand name is Soriatane. It is used for treating severe skin conditions like psoriasis but is not gentle and definitely not something to be taken lightly as it has side effects and interactions that need to be monitored.

Thanks for the explanation. When symptomatic I used the prescription Calcipotriene Cream. It's a synthetic vitamin D3 used for psoriasis which slows the growth of cells down. Thank goodness I had insurance; it was expensive. I used it out of desperation even though I don't think it made any difference. I thought if my rash is this bad using it maybe it would be worse if I quit using it.
