Recently have been proscribed to take folitrax 15 once a week, calcerol once a week and psoracure capsules twice a day together with the psoracure ointment. So fact is that i breastfeed. And after i took folitrax, during the first week i found discomfort and some kind of a grey color Wart kinda thing?!? Can it be from folitrax? And shoukd I stop breastfeeding? Should i continue folitrax? I dont know what to do.please help me. Thank you.

hi, welcome to HCM,
STOP folitex(Methotrexate) immediately as you are breastfeeding. methotrexate is contraindicated in breastfeeding mothers. Serious adverse reactions from methotrexate in breast fed infants occurs.
there are lot more drugs like short course of steroid, topical Vitamin D analogue (Calcipotriol) which should be used at this stage.
thanks
