Inverse Psoriasis affects areas where skin touches skin—such as the armpits, under the breasts, groin, and around the genitals. It often presents as red, shiny, and inflamed patches that can cause discomfort due to friction and moisture. Ayurveda recognizes this as a manifestation of aggravated Pitta and Kapha doshas that disturb the skin’s equilibrium and immunity.
As mentioned by Acharya Charaka in Charaka Samhita, Sutra Sthana 20/11:
“Pitta-kapha prakopascha twak-vikarasya karanam” — The aggravation of Pitta and Kapha is the underlying cause of skin disorders.
This highlights that when internal heat (Pitta) combines with stagnation and moisture (Kapha), it disrupts the skin metabolism, resulting in chronic inflammatory skin conditions like Inverse Psoriasis. The goal of Ayurveda is to restore the inner balance by clearing toxins (Ama) and strengthening skin resilience from within.

“The Ayurvedic approach of disease looks for the root cause and not merely the symptoms. The basic principles of Ayurveda consider an individual human a specific identity and hence his treatment giving importance to the treatment of the patient rather than the treatment of the disease.”
“Since Ayurveda focuses on the root-cause of the disease, it effectively reduces the risk of severe health complications arising out of the untreated underlying cause. Patients who complete their Ayurveda treatment have a reduced risk of health complications later.”
"Heal your body naturally with 5000-year-old knowledge of Ayurveda and Modern Science. From its authenticity, structured approach and personalization play a very important role in complementing the effect of medicines as well as sustaining the benefit of treatment after the medicines have ended."
Inverse Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that primarily affects areas where skin folds rub together—like the armpits, under the breasts, around the groin, and inner thighs. Unlike other types of psoriasis that cause dry scales, inverse psoriasis presents as shiny, smooth, inflamed patches that worsen with heat, friction, or moisture.
In Ayurveda, it is seen as a disorder of aggravated Pitta and Kapha doshas that disturb the skin’s metabolism (Twak Agni) and immunity. The combination of internal heat (Pitta) and moisture retention (Kapha) leads to toxin accumulation (Ama), which manifests as inflammation, redness, and tenderness in skin folds.
At EliteAyurveda, we follow a comprehensive and personalized treatment protocol that targets the root cause of Inverse Psoriasis, ensuring sustainable relief and long-term remission.
This structured approach ensures healing at every level—body, mind, and immunity—helping patients reclaim confidence and comfort in their skin.
Our treatment program for Inverse Psoriasis is completely personalized and designed for root-cause reversal — addressing the internal imbalances that trigger chronic skin inflammation. Here are answers to some of the most common questions our patients ask about their healing journey with EliteAyurveda.
Inverse psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that appears in skin folds such as underarms, groin, under the breasts, and around the genitals. Unlike typical psoriasis, which causes scaly plaques, inverse psoriasis presents as smooth, shiny, red lesions that worsen with friction and sweating.
Ayurveda views inverse psoriasis as a manifestation of Pitta-Kapha imbalance in the Twak (skin) and Rakta (blood) dhatus. When digestive fire (Agni) weakens, toxins (Ama) form and accumulate in the deeper tissues. These toxins mix with aggravated Pitta and Kapha doshas, leading to heat, moisture, and inflammation — the hallmark of inverse psoriasis in body folds.
Inverse psoriasis affects moist, warm skin folds rather than dry, exposed areas. It often lacks the thick scaling seen in plaque psoriasis but causes significant irritation and soreness. Because of its location, it can easily get secondarily infected or mistaken for fungal infections. Ayurveda recognizes it as a subtype driven by excess Kapha and moisture accumulation.
No, psoriasis — including its inverse form — is not contagious. It is an autoimmune and inflammatory condition triggered by internal imbalances and not by external infection or contact with others.
The condition presents as red, inflamed patches in skin folds such as the groin, underarms, breasts, or genital areas. The lesions are smooth, shiny, and sore, often accompanied by itching, burning, and discomfort during movement or sweating. Secondary bacterial or fungal infections are common in chronic cases.
Heat, humidity, friction, sweating, hormonal changes, and stress can trigger or worsen inverse psoriasis. In Ayurveda, these triggers disturb Pitta and Kapha doshas, increasing inflammation and moisture retention in the skin folds.
Conventional treatments rely on topical steroids, antifungals, or immunosuppressants that offer temporary relief but may cause side effects. Ayurvedic treatment, on the other hand, focuses on restoring Agni, clearing toxins, and balancing Pitta-Kapha to achieve complete reversal. This ensures sustainable, side-effect-free recovery from within.
Our approach is deeply personalized and focuses on root-cause reversal. The treatment begins with Agni Deepana (digestive correction) and Ama Pachana (toxin clearance), followed by Srotas Shodhana (channel purification). This is supported by personalized herbal internal medicines, soothing external applications, and diet-lifestyle reprogramming to prevent flare-ups and rebuild skin health.
Yes. In Ayurveda, psoriasis — including its inverse form — can be reversed by addressing the root causes: impaired metabolism, toxin accumulation, and doshic imbalance. At EliteAyurveda, we have helped many patients achieve complete remission through systematic detoxification, dosha balancing, and immune regulation.
Yes. A Kapha-Pitta aggravating diet — such as spicy, oily, fermented, or processed foods — worsens inflammation. A light, cooling, and anti-inflammatory diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and whole grains supports faster healing. Avoid incompatible food combinations like milk with fish or sour foods with dairy.
Absolutely. Stress, anxiety, and emotional strain aggravate Pitta and weaken Agni, leading to flare-ups. Our program integrates mind-body healing practices such as meditation, breathing techniques, and calming herbal formulations to help patients maintain emotional balance and resilience.
Yes. Personalized herbal external therapies help soothe inflammation, relieve pain, and support skin regeneration. Gentle applications with cooling and antimicrobial properties are used to calm aggravated Pitta and Kapha in affected skin folds while preventing infections.
Healing time varies with chronicity and severity. Noticeable improvement is usually seen within 4–6 weeks, while full reversal may take a few months. Consistency in treatment, diet, and lifestyle is essential for long-term remission.
Yes. Many of our patients transition from conventional medicines under guided supervision. We design your Ayurvedic plan in parallel, focusing on detoxification and gradual reduction of dependency while maintaining symptom stability and safety.
