A member asked:
I am about to start methotrexate for psoriasis and have had genital herpes in the past. how common will outbreaks occur on it and to what severity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not very common : It is still fairly safe. I use the medication in my patients all the time. You can possible still have flare from time to time and it may not be related to methotrexate but other causes such as stress, anxiety, high dose steroid, etc.
