چکیده
Inverse psoriasis is an uncommon form of psoriasis that involves intertriginous areas such as axillae and inguinal creases [1]. Interdigital psoriasis (IP), a subtype of inverse psoriasis, has been defined firstly as a distinct entity by Waisman in 1961 and this entity was called as “white psoriasis” or “psoriasis alba” [2]. There are few reported cases of IP in literature [2-4]. This report presents a case of IP who has been misdiagnosed as tinea pedis for one year and then diagnosed with the development of psoriasis lesions in other intertriginous areas.
