I have a number of SCC’s, I’ve had six surgically removed and six shaved away and more appearing.  Dermatologist has prescribed Aciatretin, has anyone had experience of this drug?  Side effects, success etc. Look forward to hearing from you.

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    I'm sorry to read that you've already had six SCCs removed and now more have appeared. It must be very upsetting for you.

    I don't have any experience with acitretin so typed this into the search bar to see if anyone else in the group has reported using it. Unfortunately I drew a blank.

    However, I have found this leaflet about acitretin from BAD (British Association of Dermatologists) which describes it's use and any potential side effects.

    Do come back and let us know how you get on with it.
