How serious is inverse psoriasis?

Inverse psoriasis tends to affect sensitive parts of the body and can therefore be annoying, uncomfortable, and painful, but it is rarely serious.

Scratching a rash, however, can break the skin and lead to a superadded infection, which can be more serious and difficult to treat.

Can you have sex with genital psoriasis?

If you have genital psoriasis, you can still be intimate. Tips for reducing irritation during sex include the following:

  • Avoid or postpone sex when the skin on or around the genitals is raw or oozing
  • Before sex, gently cleanse the area by using a mild, fragrance-free cleanser that will help prevent psoriasis medication from rubbing onto your partner
  • Use a lubricated condom, as this lessens the risk of irritating the inflamed area
  • After sex, gently wash the area to help reduce irritation
