3. Psoriasis
Unfortunately, the bright red, scaly rash of psoriasis can affect your genitals, too. The most common type of psoriasis that impacts women down below is called inverse psoriasis. It’s usually ID’d by smooth and dry red lesions that can also pop up in the creases of your thighs. (The inner thighs can be particularly prone to the condition since they face irritation and friction from clothes, underwear, or even sex.) While there’s no cure for psoriasis, steroids and non-steroid topical treatments can help ease the pain, says Lamb. Warning: Since the skin of the vulva is more sensitive than other parts of your body, you have to be careful with the strength of your ointments. Other options for treatment include lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and cutting your stress levels.
