Acitretin (Vitamin A) for Darier's Disease Causing Stomach Swelling

Posted By Sawanshah (United Kingdom) on 03/16/2016

I have been prescribed Acitretin (vitamin A retenoids) in order to help me control my condition known as Darier's Disease.

I have been taking the medication at the lowest dosage of 10mgs daily, for a 3 months after which I reviewed it and decided to carry on. What I did notice is that also the skin has become more healthier, less hard skin on feet, so less having to scrub it off daily

The side effects I have noticed are that my belly has balloned out making me look fat. I was wondering if there was any suggestions to try and counter effect this.
