plaque psoriasis: I have this especially bad on both elbows, and left wrist about the size of a dime and on my back
inverse psoriasis: along the belt line from hip to hip.
I also have it on both ears and chest, when i was diagnosed, the nurse practioner in dermatology just said I have psorasis, gave me a steroid cream script (which I dont tend to use because it dont work) and left, so I tend to use A & D ointment that people use for their childrens diaper rash and coconut oil, both keep me from itching and flaking
