Inverse psoriasis
What is it?
Inverse psoriasis is a disease that causes your skin cells to reproduce very quickly. There are areas of your skin that rub against each other when you have this type of psoriasis.
A common term used to describe inverse psoriasis is autoimmune disease. However, the antibody that causes the condition has not yet been identified. As a result, it is classified as an immune-mediated disease. The exact cause is unknown, but experts believe it has something to do with your immune system.
