Abstract
A 10-year-old boy presented with persistent genital erythematous plaques unresponsive to traditional topical treatments. Apremilast, an underexplored option in pediatric cases, was initiated and resulted in a significant reduction in pruritus and resolution of the lesions. This case provides insight into the potential efficacy of apremilast in refractory pediatric inverse psoriasis and underscores the necessity for further research in this specific population.
