Inverse psoriasis

Unlike other forms of psoriasis, inverse psoriasis gives rise to smooth areas of redness and swelling. These patches appear most often in the folds of skin at the groin, under the breasts, and in the armpits. Because these patches are located in warm, moist areas, there is a high likelihood of complications due to infection by yeast or fungi. Sweating and friction may worsen symptoms. Inverse psoriasis tends to affect overweight individuals in particular.
