Hello dear. You are 25 years old, what was th3 reason for stopping methotrexate? Are you planning conception? It is a good drug in psoriasis, especially because it is cheap. As for tofa, also great drug, but cost is a factor, so not many can afford. Please send pictures so we can determine your %body surface involvement. I am guessing you have psoriasis arthropathy, has any X ray been done? Please attach pictures, if yes
No need to worry.specific treatment is available.it depends on severity of the disease . Complete medical history is required..
