“…In our study, complete clearance was noted in 13/15 (86.6%) patients on MTX. Conversely, in studies by Rees et al (20) and Roenigk et al (19), the response was slower, and complete clearance was noted in only 45–60% of the patients on weekly methotrexate therapy. All the thirteen patients who attained complete clearance remained free of their lesions even after gradual reduction in the dose of methotrexate.…”
