I'm a fan of whatever works to control psoriasis! As you see, some have had good results with different meds.
Myself, I had good results with Acitretin (an oral med) after trying light therapy and topical treatments that didn't improve much for me. However, after learning more about Acitretin, I can't say I am a huge fan. I was basically clear except for a little bit on my scalp, but it was a bit like having dandruff at that time so I was able to stop taking meds. Then I had a big flare up and tried biologics. However, prior to getting the biologics actually in hand (had to get approval and such) the doctor put me on a topical that helped get things better. I tried 3 biologics but didn't have a ton of improvement. I don't know why.
Good luck with your appointment. The important thing is to find what works for you!
