I just got finished with dovobet, a steroid, which is only a short term use topical. Wouldn't this steroid be the same thing?? If it's a short term measure, then why start it at all?

I 100% agree with you Wintrman but unfortunately a dermatologist has to follow protocol. We have seen it so often where people would rather go for something like a bio, but that rarely happens until you have failed on one or two oral treatments.
You could refuse the topical's, but I don't think many dermatologists would start a new patient on an Oral treatment. You could try asking for light treatment and explain that you refuse to use a topical, it's worth a try.
Failing that you are going to be left with self treatment with something like DMF or Natural. *If you wish to go that way these may help:
