Tablets or ointments

[karaokeking]

As i have said i only have mild ps to some of you, and i asked in a previous post about tablets. I have never been offered tablets, and it was said my doctor probably wont´put me on them, because i haven´t got it severe enough. Surely taking tablets is a lot easier than putting cream, and ointment on every day. So if you think my doctor won´t prescribe fudamern, will he give me something milder.

I am in Tenerife for another two months and as was mentioned, using dovonex, and being in the sun it says don´t mix. I come over here for six months of the year for the sun which helps a lot, so i don´t want any creams or ointments that will be detrimental to my ps. I would still like to know what creams, or ointments other members have found to keep it under control.Thanks

Tablets isn't always better, there are more possible side effects with the tablets and some people have a phobia about taking them. So as for what it being easier that depends on the patient.

If your doctor won't/can't give you Fumaderm, then I don't think there is one for psoriasis that is milder. Methotrexate, Acitretin, and Ciclosporin have a lot more side effects than Fumaderm, that's doesn't mean they are not suitable for you though as every patient is different.

Like I said in your other thread RE: creams, and ointments Silkis could be worth a go.

I'm not sure if you can get it in the UK or Spain but Dexeryl could also be worth a go as you have it mild.
