A form of psoriasis to distinguish from others
This type of psoriasis does not affect the areas subject to friction, on the contrary, it occurs in the skin folds. The term inverse psoriasis is used to distinguish it from other forms of psoriasis, although different types of psoriasis can occur concomitantly in the same patient. Inverse psoriasis plaques can appear in any of the body's skin folds: the underarms, on the navel, in the more intimate skin folds (the buttock folds, the groin folds, or the folds under the breasts), which can cause discomfort and embarrassment to the person concerned.
In babies, inverse psoriasis is referred to as "diaper psoriasis" because the plaques appear on the skin directly under the diaper.
