Abstract
Psoriasis is an inflammatory chronic skin disease. The most difficult part of treating psoriasis is stopping the relapse. Inverse psoriasis is a rare subtype of psoriasis and affects the skin folds such as the axillae, perianal skin, intergluteal cleft, inframammary, genital/inguinal, abdominal, and retroauricular folds. The unique appearing place of the lesion and the constantly recurrence of the disease lead the treatment complicated. The common treatment like tropical using of glucocorticoid could cause various side effects, e.g. fungi infection, in the skin folds. Other treatment like calcipotriene may lead stimuli on the skin folds which makes some patients could not be tolerant to the long term use of it. In our case, we present a patient with inverse psoriasis treated with LA-Cer containing moisturizer after short term using calcipotriene and maintained a long term of no recurrence.
