Yes, hair loss and curly hair are coon side effects of acitretin. I wouldn't rule out the problem of your nails being caused by acitretin also. Amongst many other horrible side effects.

Yes, my nails got worse after taking it. I finally stopped & starting using topical CBD oil and my nails have improved.

I’ve made the decision to stop taking it and go back to topical treatments like .Enstilar. 8 don’t particularly want to end up bald.
