Psoriasis: Plaque-type and Inverse Patterns
Psoriasis vulgaris or plaque-type psoriasis, the most common form
of psoriasis, is characterized by thick plaques primarily on the
elbows, knees, umbilicus, genital area, lower back, and scalp
A significant minority of psoriasis patients have an inverse pattern of
psoriasis, involving the skin folds, recesses, genitalia, and other
thin-skinned areas generally considered to be more easily irritated
The use of many existing topical psoriasis treatments are commonly
avoided in sensitive or intertriginous areas due to the increased
potential for both topical and systemic side effects
This study was conducted to examine the local tolerability of
AN2728 Topical Ointment, 2% compared to vehicle in sensitive skin
areas of healthy volunteers
