Genital psoriasis can be particularly challenging due to its location and symptoms. Here are some experiences and treatments shared by members of MyPsoriasisTeam:

Experiences:
- Itching and Pain: Nearly all members report severe itching, with some describing it as "pure torture" or feeling like they are "on fire." Scratching can lead to bleeding and further irritation.
- Intimacy Issues: Many members find intimacy uncomfortable due to pain, stinging, and burning. Small skin tears or traumas during sexual activity can trigger flares, making sex painful.
- Emotional Impact: The condition often leads to lower self-esteem and depression. Some members avoid dating or intimate relationships due to embarrassment and discomfort.

Treatments:
- Dead Sea Therapy: Some members have found relief by visiting the Dead Sea in Israel, where the unique environment helped clear their skin.
- InterDry: This moisture-wicking fabric with antimicrobial silver helps manage skin-on-skin irritation.
- Topical Treatments: Various creams and ointments prescribed by doctors can help manage symptoms, though it's crucial to discuss these options with a healthcare provider.

Support:
- Community Support: Joining support groups like MyPsoriasisTeam can provide emotional relief and practical advice from others who understand the condition.
