Hi again karaokeking ( I hope you are a singer with a name like that) you ask about tablets for psoriasis I think it will depend on the severity of your psoriasis or the failure of topicals to clear you....also you mention you are using Dovonex which is a vitamin D derivative and not one of the steroid drugs....
If I was in the Canaries (incidentally the name of my football team) anyway if I were there and was told that a cream I was on to avoid sun I would stop using it and get a good moisturiser " Fred swears by a good quality coconut oil" and get myself into the sun you can get your vitamin D that way and enjoy getting a tan the UV should also help
If you feel you need to move on from creams and lotions towards tablets. I think I'm right in saying you will need to get your doctor to refer you to a dermatologist.
He will be the one who decides the best course of treatment for you.. You can discuss with him/her what you have read about and what you would like to try. You will probably be started on something like methotrexate although more are offering my tablet Fumaderm early
But I think you will need to be refered to a dermatologist in the first instance .. But no harm in asking your doctor.
