“…Histologically there is no apparent difference between genital and non-genital psoriasis (14,16,17,22,23,27,28,34,41). However, the typical characteristics of psoriasis may be less evident in vulvar and penile psoriatic lesions, which may necessitate a careful search for subtle signs in these cases (17,50).…”

“…Psoriatic lesions on the genital skin often present as well-demarcated, brightly erythematous, thin plaques and usually lack, due to maceration, the typical scaling that is apparent on other parts of the body (21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39). However, scales may be seen on the more keratinised regions of the genital skin (34,40,41).…”

“…However, scales may be seen on the more keratinised regions of the genital skin (34,40,41). When scaling is present, it is often minimal and can easily be scraped off, leaving pinpoint bleedings (26,27,38,42). The appearance of vulvar psoriasis is often symmetrical and can vary from silvery, scaling patches adjacent to the outer parts of the labia majora to moist greyish plaques or glossy red plaques without scaling in the skin folds (33,35,40,(42)(43)(44)(45).…”

It is well known that the genital skin may be affected by psoriasis. However, little is known about the prevalence and clinical appearance of genital psoriasis, and genital skin is often neglected in the treatment of psoriatic patients. We performed an extensive systematic literature search for evidence-based data on genital psoriasis with respect to epidemiology, aetiology, clinical and histopathological presentation, diagnosis and treatment. Three bibliographical databases (PubMed, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library) were used as data sources. Fifty-nine articles on genital psoriasis were included. The results show that psoriasis frequently affects the genital skin, but that evidence-based data with respect to the efficacy and safety of treatments for genital psoriasis are extremely limited. An advised treatment paradigm for genital psoriasis, based on the levels of evidence, is: first-line: (weak) topical corticosteroids; second-line: vitamin D preparations or tar-based treatments.
