Methotrexate
by Rika68, Nov 01, 2008 12:16PM
I have been on Methotrexate for almost a year for scalp psoriasis. It has done beautifully for that problem. I have recently been told that I have Granuloma Annulare on my leg. It really doesn't present the way the pictures show. In the past I also had eczema and this doesn't match that either. It is getting darker and spreading. My first question is do you think it has been correctly diagnosed? And secondly why doesn't the Methotrexate help it also?
Thanks for any input.

Nothing can be siad with surety without having a look at the lesions. It would best to get a clinical examination to find out the cause of the leg lesions.
If you are still not convinced you could take a second opinion.
If it is granuloma annulare, then methotrexate would not help. You would need steroid medications, cryotherapy or isotretinoin or phototherapy with oral psoralen and UV-A (PUVA).
Let us know about what your doctor advises and if you need any other information.
