I think it's the sensitive places you get it, and the constant judgement that you initially experience from doctors when you finally bring it up to them. Most assume it's an STD when it's in the genital area, or that it's a fungal issue. Either way, they say it's about your behavior.
Then when you finally find someone to listen and come to the correct diagnosis, treatments are limited. Things that are very effective on other areas cannot be used in many of the places you can get inverse psoriasis.
That's more than one thing, and I could go on!

JamesH2, I just tell doctors, nurses, etc. ahead of time I have psoriasis. E.g., LabTech: "I have psoriasis, so don't freak out when I lift up my sleeve" or Physical appt.: "I have psoriasis down there; it's not an STD." (That way you are more in control and can avoid those annoying questions, and also they may have other resources/recommendations for you).

It is exhausting and painful and keeps me from going out. I'd rather be miserable at home. It's harder when your family dismisses you as dramatic or just plain making it all up. Or it's all in your head, except the evidence is there in all of its hot, red, painful, glowing fury.

Thank you, Gaile!!! And yes, I know exactly what you mean. I hope you have a great week!

I'm so sorry to hear that Gaile! Do you have something to try there? I had luck with just 2.5% cortisone in skin folds. In other areas it didn't work.
