Abstract

Inverse psoriasis is a chronic disease frequently treated with topical corticosteroids. This retrospective case study evaluated the efficacy of tacrolimus 0.1% ointment to treat inverse psoriasis in children. Twelve of 13 patients had complete clearance of their psoriatic lesions within 2 weeks after initiating treatment with topical tacrolimus 0.1%.
