It’s not easy figuring out the treatment(s) that will work for you. It depends on:
- Type and severity
- How the treatment fits your lifestyle or schedule
- Balance between the risks and benefits of the treatment
- Your age and general health
- Allergies and other medications you are taking
- Your preferences
- Whether you are pregnant or wish to become pregnant
You will need to talk to your doctor about all of the treatment options, how long to wait for results, and when to move onto the next option in order to come up with a treatment plan. Click here for a guide to talking with your doctor.
Remember that over time, your treatment needs may change. If the severity of your psoriasis, your general health or your preferences change, you will need to re-visit your options.
