Hello
Your doctor has given you a good combination of medications.
Folitrex is methotrexate , one of the best medicine for severe psoriasis. Only problem is that it cannot be continued for very long period as it has side effects.
At present your foot appears very bad so please continue with the prescribed medication. You will get relief.
