Hello,
Welcome to healthcare magic,
Finasteride and Minoxidil are not treatments for psoriasis, they are treatments for male pattern baldness. They take time for action. Psoriasis can be controlled, not cured, and so is male pattern baldness. I recommend you to consult another dermatologist who explains each disease and treatment plan to you in detail so that you will be well informed.
Hope this helped,
Take care.
