A member asked:

I need a prescription for my psoriasis, what do i use?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies widely: Prescription medicine for psoriasis varies from topical steroids to methotrexate, an anti-cancer agent, to humira, (adalimumab) a biological response modifier. The best person to write prescriptions for you is a dermatologist.
