If you cannot afford the medicine that your dermatologist prescribes, you may be able to get financial help. Many companies that make psoriasis medications offer financial assistance. Discount cards and co-pay assistance programs can also help.

This help is available for costly biologics and other psoriasis medicines, including ones that you apply to your skin.

You can find out what financial help is available by visiting the National Psoriasis Foundation’s website: Financial Assistance Resource Center.
