Inverse (flexural) Psoriasis
This affects areas of the skin that are in folds or creases, such as the armpits, groin and the skin between the buttocks and under the breasts. It can cause large, smooth red patches in some or all of these areas. Inverse psoriasis is made worse by friction and sweating, so it can be particularly uncomfortable in hot weather and can also be prone to yeast or fungal infections which might cause confusion. Scaling is minimal or absent.
