About psoriasis
Genital psoriasis

Psoriasis can occur in the genital area at the same time it occurs elsewhere on the body, or it can appear in the genital area only. People with genital psoriasis may have affected areas that range from small, red spots to large patches.

The most common type of psoriasis in the genital region is inverse psoriasis.

Genital psoriasis generally responds well to treatment. However, due to the sensitivity of genital skin, treatment requires some special considerations (see treatment tips for more information).
