Inverse psoriasis keep area dry or moist ?

[Bill]

Hi jagendog,

As I like my gin. Dry. Steroids are a crazy option as the skin is already thin enough. I did use oil based emollients when the disease was quite active, but good control with systemic medication these days allows me to avoid the need for any topical treatment.

Cheers

Yes.  thank you for your reply. Two dermatologists both prescribing the same two poisons (at least for me).....CORTISONE. I have so many tubes of this stuff it's amazing to me where they learned this in medical school ?? Perhaps they need a refresher course as to what this stuff really does. Although they know now for sure. For me now multiple cleaning's per day with spring water and microfiber cloths. Your water softener water is loaded with salt (ouch)....Best Regards...Jagen

Hi jagendog, I have had inverse psoriasis and I found that Vaseline just stopped it cracking to much, acitretin was the drug they put me on for that but I wouldn't recommend it. When the creases get sore it's a real sod because you can't keep still and they just rub and get worse.
Welcome by the way.

Was it cortisone with an anti fungal by any chance? I’ve had inverse in the past, it’s notorious for picking up fungal or bacterial infection. In that case I found using something for the infection can help clear up the inverse p.

I have found with the inverse psoriasis I have on my chest that keeping it dry is the best thing.  While the psoriasis on other parts of my body responded well to the topical ointments, the inverse psoriasis would get worse with them.  I found the best thing to do is just keep it dry with baby powder.
