@hopenr I have had psoriasis for many years and have been prescribed different medications over the years. It is an autoimmune condition that cannot be cured but can be kept in control by medication. Every person responds differently to different medications and it may take time to find the one that works for you. Steroid creams should be used sparingly so I am surprised your doctor is okay with your using up an entire tube in three applications - unless, of course, the tubes are small, sample sized! Even so, steroid creams should be used only sparingly.

The only oral prescription that worked for me was Methotrexate (8 tablets) once a week and folic acid the rest of the week. It a few weeks for my skin to clear but it was very effective. Unfortunately I had to stop taking it after about three or four years because I have a fatty liver and apparently Methotrexate is not good for it on a long term basis.

I was then put on biologics. I refused Humira because the injections have to be taken every week so I was prescribed a Stelara injection every eight weeks. It didn’t do much for me so after about eighteen months I was prescribed Skyrizi every eight weeks. That too did not clear my skin the way Methotrexate did. I am now taking Bimzelx injections every eight weeks and that has been keeping 99.9% of my skin clear. I have been on Bimzelx for a little over a year now.
