Does methotrexate put psoriasis into remission?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Methotrexate is an old treatment for psoriasis that can be extremely effective for some people. Many people find complete relief using it. 30 years ago it was used much more than now. These days, there are many newer and better options that have replaced it. Psoriasis can be a big problem and is certainly worth seeing a Dermatologist about.

It can, but there are less toxic drugs available now. Consult a dermatologist for management of the disease. Visit this site for information on this topic: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/psoriasis/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20355845
