Suggest Treatment For Psoriasis On My Face And Neck While On Beta- Blockers

How can I get off of a Beta-Blocker. I was prescribed 50mg. Have cut those in half and seem to do fine with that. I have developed Psoriasis on my face and neck, which I never had before taking this medication. It s embarrassing and itchy and I was just rather take something else.

Hello!
The best option is to visit the doctor who prescribed this medication. Psoriasis usually occurs on extensor surfaces of the body like knee and elbow.Picture of the affected part is necessary to further acknowledge the diagnosis.Altering the dose of beta blockers without consulting doctor is not advisable.

have a good day
