Candida

Candidiasis is distinguished by its beefy-red color and the presence of characteristic satellite pustules at the periphery, which are absent in psoriasis.

Candidiasis

This yeast infection is identified by its moist, beefy-red appearance and classic satellite pustules, unlike the smooth, non-pustular red plaques of inverse psoriasis.

Darier's disease

Darier's is characterized by greasy, crusted, keratotic papules, a very different primary morphology than the smooth, erythematous plaques of inverse psoriasis.

Erythrasma

This bacterial infection is a brownish, asymptomatic patch that fluoresces coral-red under a Wood's lamp, a different color and clinical picture than psoriasis.

Granular parakeratosis

This is a rare condition presenting as hyperpigmented, keratotic papules in the axilla, histologically distinct from psoriasis.

Hailey-Hailey disease

This blistering disease is characterized by erosions, fissures, and maceration in the flexures, unlike the non-eroded plaques of psoriasis.

Intertrigo

Simple intertrigo is less demarcated and lacks the deep red, plaque-like quality of inverse psoriasis.
