hi irfana, sorry you are having such a hard time. I also have psoriasis and am receiving treatment.
Make sure you see a dermatologist instead of a regular doctor, it is important to get the right diagnosis first. I was told I had yeast, eczema, e.t.c by my primary doc but the dermatologist did a biopsy and confirmed inverse psoriasis.
she started treatment with various steroid creams which did not work for me. She then put me on a cream called dovonex which works to remove the plaques but it is not permanent, after a while it comes back. you have to use the cream even when your skin is clear.
Finally she put me on enbrel which suppresses your immune system, i have been on for 3 months so far but no progress yet. the doctor says to wait a while longer but am pushing for a different drug, she sugggested phototherapy but I dont have the time to commit to those treatments so far. I may try it someday, i hope this info helps you out.
