Psorasis on circ scar

Question:

I have Psoriasis on a circumcision scar in the groin area (penis). Since I do have some abrasion with underpants from time to time  - seems to heal and then re-appears again — have tried various creams — this spot with psoriasis can become quite painful at times — any suggestions. Sonny

My derm prescribes Desowen cream for me to use in those sensitive areas. That usually clears it up within a day or two at the most. My other suggestion is do not wear underwear; at least when you have a flare up. This time of year because of the cold I do wear flannel boxers, but I cannot wear my briefs more than two days without getting a bad flare up of inverse psoriasis in the creases between my groin and thighs. Best of luck to you.

    I use MTX which is about the only thing that helps long term. Protopic and Desowen cream are used on and off, once in a while I will zap it with some Triamcinolone, but I make sure to only use it no more than 2 times a month or so at the most.  Oh and I do know what your feeling in regards to the pain.
