Groin psoriasis can be rather easily treated by many relatively safe medicines. However, there are some medications and procedures that you should try to avoid for your groin psoriasis treatment.
Laser Light Therapy
Laser light therapy is approved by the FDA, and is used for localized psoriasis treatment. The treatment is accomplished with a high-intensity UVB beam. Laser psoriasis treatment is considered too harsh for the treatment of the groin psoriasis as it may cause burns, blisters and ulcers on your skin.
Systemics (Methotrexate and Cyclosporine)
Systemics are medicines that travel through your blood system, but some of them (e.g., Cyclosporine) can also be administered orally. Systemics are usually used for an overall psoriasis treatment, and not just groin psoriasis treatment. The main problem with these medicines is their horrific side-effects, as well as they may cause psoriasis to become non-responsive to other treatments. The side-effects of systemics include: headache, fatigue, insomnia, nausea, diarrhea, as well as liver and kidney damage. These medications should be especially avoided by pregnant and lactating women, since they are detrimental to the baby.
If your psoriasis does not just affect a small area in your groin, and instead covers your entire genital area, then it's considered to be a severe psoriasis. In this case, you should probably seek out a more potent treatment, such as biologics (Amevive, Raptiva, Enbrel and Remicade) or systemics (Methotrexate, Cyclosporine, etc.). However, these potent drugs bear very dangerous side effects. If I were to choose, I would give a try to biologics, and never to systemics.
