Hi Jim 
to the club ....it's admirable what you are researching for your dad, to be honest I think you have been doing the right thing since seeing a dermatologist .....you won't always get a fast response from a drug, and you are just at about 8 weeks on humira.... I would say if you don't start to see an improvement soon, ask to be moved onto another biological drug
There's no quick fix for him I'm afraid but it is trial and error to find the right one for him
Get him some extra virgin coconut oil as a moisturiser and wait a couple more weeks ...if no improvement ask to be moved onto another see this link for the various ones Biological Treatments For Psoriasis and look down at the Cosentyx link in the page, which is doing great things for sufferers
I look forward to hearing how your dad improves
