Hi Wintrman!
Welcome to the club
You should really be referred to a dermatologist. He or she will determine with you the best treatment based on how much psoriasis you have, type of psoriasis, etc.
I'm from Canada (Quebec) and treatments haven't been expensive for me. Are you covered by a health insurance?
My dermatologist started me on methotrexate. Although many people find this treatment bad, it cleared me completely of psoriasis and I had no side effects. I never had light therapy. I have since moved onto biologics as I have psoriatic arthritis.
Many treatments are available in Canada. Biologics are expensive but in my case, my insurance pays a portion and then the support program for the biologic I am taking pays the difference. There is a support program for each biologic. Therefore, I just pick up my medication at the pharmacy and have nothing to pay!
Hope this helps
