New to Psoriasis

[Fred]

I would have said four weeks max especially in sensitive areas, but having said that I would never put it on my genital area.  

Well it does seem to be working just very slowly and I'd really rather not be stuck with having this on my penis forever.  What other options are there?  Pills?  Would that be a better way to go? 

You also mentioned the skin on your toes splitting.  Is this something that one notices immediately or do you not notice these effects til later down the road?

I noticed to late and now can hardly seem to get the skin inside my toes back to normal. But it was Dovobet which is stronger, but worth bearing it in mind about what can happen with thinning of the skin.  

I've just found this about triamcinolone: Avoid using this medication on your face, near your eyes, or on body areas where you have skin folds or thin skin.

As for what else to try. It depends how bad the psoriasis is and where else you have it. Most dermatologist wouldn't try the pills until they have tried the creams first.

You could try Dovonex. Dovobet And Dovonex (What's the difference ?)

Or just give a good quality Virgin Coconut Oil a try for a while to see if it helps. *Not good if you use condoms.

If you do want to ask your dermatologist about the oral treatments this thread has more info: Oral Treatments For Psoriasis but I would hold off on them for a while and see if a cream can sort it out.
