Excessive tire wear after car lowered

Three months ago, I had my car lowered 1" and had alignment done afterwards. Since then, I have driven the car for about 2k miles. I recently noticed that all 4 tires are wearing faster from the inside. Is this normal after lowering the car? Anyone out there having the same problem after lowering your car?
 
When you lower the car, you increase negative camber, which will wear your tires faster.

Dial out some of the negative camber, if possible, and/or take out some of the toe-in in the rear.

This is discussed in the FAQ.

Get your alignment checked again. I lowered mine with eibach springs on the original shocks, new 17 and 18 inch wheels and all looks ok at 2000+ miles. I did wear through the stock tires almost immediately when I
didn't get it realigned.
