Are Solara Injections The Right Treatment For Psoriasis?

I started taking Solara for psorrias about a fortnight ago but my skin seems to be shedding more. I was diagnosed with psorrias last December. I have this all over my body,face and head. I was on aciterin for 3 months and then Dermatologist thought Solara would work quicker as I have redness all over. I was just wondering what your opinions are. I will be taking my next injection in a fortnights time. I find all this very debilitating and itch unbearable. Thanks Marion
