Suggest Treatment For Psoriasis?

I've been on neotigason 2 daily capsules 25 mg for 6 months as a treatment for psoriasis. I came off them actually couple of weeks ago because my doctor prescribed antibiotics for a toe nail infection. In the meantime my psoriasis has returned. Can I re-continue taking neotigason. I have periodical blood tests whose results up to now have been ok to continue with the treatment over the past 6 months. I'm 67 years old and I take high blood pressure pills which control the pressure at 120/ 80 usually.

Hi,

As you said,you suffer from psoriasis vulgaris. You must be aware about psoriasis that it is a controllable disease and there is no complete cure. So, some factors like stress,disease anywhere in body,trauma,dry weather...etc might precipitate the the disease. In your case, it has relapsed. Do not worry. You just restart the medicines you were taking...neotigasone 25 mg twice a day.

After control of disease, you may reduce the dose to 25 mg per day. And also apply steroid with salicylic acid oint on the lesions. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
