No Dovonex shouldn't be used on the face. But that is the recommendation of the manufacturer, I have used it in the past on my face without any problems. But I agree with what they have told you "Only in small amounts" having said that I would advise you follow the manufacture and throw that back at them.
For your face you could try Coconut Oil I'm a big fan and it may help depending on bad your face psoriasis is. Another alternative if you can get it is Dexeryl or Aqueous cream but they do contain Parabens. Parabens what I found out !
But I'm with the others you need to get a referral to a dermatologist. Unfortunately this can be difficult in some parts of the UK and I have spoken to other members here that have had a the same problem, but you just have to get nasty with them and kick up a fuss. Your GP is never going to do any more than give you creams, it's all they can do.
Either change your GP or keep demanding a referral to a dermatologist, you have the right to proper treatment so keep pushing them for it. Others that have done so in the past have never looked back, a dermatologist is better suited to treat you and will work with you to find something that will help you manage it.
