I’ve been diagnosed with inverse psoriasis for the past 2 years affecting my groin area. Does anyone have lifestyle tips on living with it?
I’ve had to change the type of underwear since traditional underwear aggravates my skin making my psoriasis worse. However need tips for when I get my cycle.

I have used Tacrilomus (Protopic) in those areas (I am Dx with Psoriatic Arthritis) - that and soaks with epsom salts. either bath or using a "salted" washcloth in the crease while showering

Na wassen of douchen en goed drogen, de liesstreek insmeren met maizena (maismeel) gewoon droog; dat heeft mij laatst enorm geholpen.

I just started using clobetasol cream, but was afraid of using a steroid in "that area"...might try it the same way you do. I will try the oatmeal bath. Thank you.

I too have the inverse psoriasis, I will take an oatmeal bat for relief and sometimes use clobetasol ointment sparingly in the groin area when the itching and burning gets unbearable , as any steroid will thin the skin and thinner skin tears easier, and around menopause, the skin there thins due to hormones anyway, so it can be a real problem with intimacy. Best of luck to you!

I was given betamethasone for the genitals and it helps a lot
