Well moogoo I'm sorry you are having such a bad time with your psoriasis as I said you have found us here and in my opinion you won't get better information anywhere else
Fred who runs the site keeps up to date with all the latest research and there are threads on here about all types of treatments in the health boards.
I must ask are you under a dermatologist at the moment, if not tell your doctor you need a referral to one.
Creams and potions are fine but they will only do so much. Get the dermatologist to offer you either tablets or injections . They will probably want to start you on methotrexate as it's the dermatologists cheapest option some love it for me it worked well at ridding me of the dreaded scales and redness, not a pleasant drug though, but when you are desperate you will take anything for relief, and if you can tolerate it it will probably work,
The treatment I'm on is called Fumaderm it's a slow worker but not toxic like methotrexate.
Here are some links to get started all worth a read just click on the blue links to go to the posts
Dimethylfumarates and Psoriasis
Methotrexate
Biological Treatments For Psoriasis
Acitretin
Hope you find your way around as I say if not let me know in a post and I will help
