What Could Dry, Rough Patch On Inner Thigh Causing Irritation During Sex Indicate?

Hi, I have beenbeen in a monogamous relationship for about 9 years and have been prone to yeast infections especially in the summer. I have noticed that while having sex with my patch of skin stays dry and constantly irritates both myself and my part. We have tried lubricants but they don t help. I was diagnosed with psoriasis over 10 years ago and haven t had an outbreak since (it was on my legs). The rough patch is on my left inner thigh right below my vaginal opening. Thank you in advance for any help.
