Suggest Treatment For Psoriasis

I can t believe how psoriasis has overtaken me over the past two years. Very few people know, as I don t complain, but I m constantly overwhelmed by the persistent, incessant itching, day and night. A local dermatologist prescribed fluocinonide cream, but it didn t help at all. Plus, I d need a gallon a day to apply to all the affected areas. Is there some oral medication that would ameliorate these very frustrating symptoms? I recognize that psoriasis cannot be cured.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, with the newer drugs psoriasis can be cured but the thing is this is very long term treatment and competent dermatologist could do this, the drug regime may go on changing from time to time, no need to be frustrated, hope this information helps, take care.
