Hello Jmysray 
to Psoriasis Club.
Shame on your doctor making feel like that, I would dump him and find another he doesn't deserve to be practising. Doctors that make you feel like that are rare and most of them will have your best interests at heart. But yes I would say get to a Dermatologist as soon as you can, things have moved on a lot over the past few years and they will work with you to find what is suitable.
I can understand you being apprehensive about the new treatments, but they have to list every problem they have come across and treatments are very well regulated and like Jim said no good dermatologist would put you on something that is going to cause you problems. Unfortunately there are bad things reported for all medications, but they are very rare and any side effects can soon be overcome by stopping the treatment and 99.9% of the time no long lasting problems.
Go and have a chat with a good dermatologist, it will be the best thing you ever did.
Regards.
Fred.
