Treatments for Psoriasis

[Fred]

So far and this is my stab at the psoriasis treatment hierarchy we have.

Lotions and potions, creams prescribed by your GP. I am not aware of anyone who has had success with any of these from a clearance perspective only to alleviate some of the symptoms such as redness and itching. (My experience)

In second place I think it would be PUVA (I have never had it and it may be becoming less popular when I think of the overhead against prescribing an oral treatment).

Then we have a first set of low cast oral treatments

• Acitretin
  
• Ciclosporine
  
• Fumaderm (Dimethylfumarate)
  
• Methotrexate
  

Biologics:

• Humira (adalimumab)
  
• Enbrel (etanercept)
  
• Remicade (infliximab)
  
• Stelara (ustekinumab)
  
• Simponi (golimumab)
  
• Cimzia (certolizumab pegol)
  
• Cosentyx (secukinumab)
  
  
  
  OK two things I don't know how to do hyperlinks! Fred feel free to add if you can!
  
  Fred I hate taking drugs of any description as well BUT, it is a lot easier at the moment than creams every day. I realise this is a journey so I may not get stelara anytime soon but at least I can open negotiations with my derm.

I've added the links. You can see how to do them here: Internal linking But if your still not sure just give me a shout.
