<p>Inverse Psoriasis: From Diagnosis to Current Treatment Options</p>

Abstract

Inverse psoriasis represents a clinical variant of psoriasis that is sometimes difficult to diagnose due to its clinical similarity with other skin disorders involving the folds, mainly including mechanical intertrigo, fungal and bacterial infections, contact dermatitis, seborrheic dermatitis, and lichen planus. Dermoscopy represents a useful tool for an enhanced non-invasive diagnosis. The treatment of inverse psoriasis may be challenging and include topical corticosteroids, topical calcineurin inhibitors, vitamin D analogs, traditional oral systemic therapies such as cyclosporine and methotrexate, and biologic therapies.

Prevalence of Dermoscopic signs in Egyptian psoriatic patients with different skin phototypes and different plaque locations

“…In open study on 12 cases with different types of balanitis, only patients with psoriatic balanitis (biopsy-proven) showed the "bushy" capillaries (Micali et al, 2019).…”

Psoriasis: From Pathogenesis to Pharmacological and Nano-Technological-Based Therapeutics

“…As no data exist showing any difference between the pathophysiologic mechanism of common psoriasis and inverse psoriasis, it seems there is a decrease in the number of CD161+ cells in the plaques of inverse psoriasis. This is speculated to be due to the constant microbial colonization of those areas affected by inverse psoriasis [ 33 , 34 ]. Finally, the most severe type, erythrodermic psoriasis, is an acute condition, in which most of the body surface is erythematous and inflamed.…”

“…Psoriasis, a common skin disorder, is easily diagnosed but refractory to treatment and prone to recurrence [ 1 ]. According to an epidemiological survey, psoriasis has an incidence of about 0.5% in the Chinese population [ 2 ].…”
