I was on Otezla it got rid of my red splotches really dried them up. I was on it for three months. I had to be taken off because of severe diahrea, nausea, lost 25 lbs in three months.

I have been on Otezla for approximately 8 months. It has mostly cleared my skin which had built up for twenty some years and I had lost hope that anything would help. My rheumatologist feels good prescribing as he says it is safest med available. I'm now able to sleep without waking up to that compelling itch/burning. Side effects have lessened over time.
