Those who have inverse psoriasis, under breast and groin, does it get moist/sweaty and also have a weird smell? Does anybody notice their psoriasis skin puts off a weird smell?

I have had psoriasis since I was in my late teens. Started on the scalp. But I now have severe inverse psoriasis, uveitis and psoriatic arthritis. I also have depression and digestive issues. Sometimes I feel like giving up.

Inverse Psoriasis

Inverse Psoriasis

Top authors

Inverse psoriasis consists of bright red, smooth patches found in the folds of the skin. The most common areas are under the breasts, in the armpits, near the genitals, under the buttocks, or in abdominal folds. It is particularly subject to irritation from rubbing and sweating because of its location in skin folds and tender areas. It usually lacks the scale associated with plaque psoriasis due to the moist environment.
