Couple of things to unpack here. Regardless of what other will tell you, ride height doesn't matter. If you had adjustable suspension, you could have same settings on camber/toe regardless of how high or low you go with the suspension. Yes, there will be a bit of difference in the damping and how the wheels will move, but it will not impact the tyre use that much. If you just lower the car and don't adjust the suspension, then often you add some negative camber, but like I said - if the suspension is fully adjustable, then you could get practically the same values everywhere regardless of your ride height.
With that out of the way, let's analyze what you said. Inner edge is worn? That means the tyre is resting on it more than on the rest of the patch, meaning you've got negative camber. Not a problem, but that's the price you pay for negative camber. You can however, "fix it", by adding a toe-in, so that the tyre would "roll itself out" while driving, so that you'll be using more of the patch.
In short - yes, go get wheel alignment, they'll help you out there and explain further if necessary.
