Inverse psoriasis appears on the underside or the “inverse side” of skin areas such as armpits, in the groin area or under one’s breasts.  Generally, wherever skin has folded over, this is where inverse psoriasis can occur.

This type of psoriasis doesn’t tend to create flaking or scaling as much as more common types of psoriasis, such as Plaque Psoriasis.  Unfortunately inverse psoriasis is aggravated by rubbing and sweating, which are common occurrences around the folds of skin where the disease tends to occur.
