What is Koebner's Phenomen Psoriasis?

Koebner's Phenomenon psoriasis describes psoriatic lesions which appear at the site of an existing injury, infection or other skin psoriasis, or may be a new lesion in an existing case. In the Koebner's phenomenon, psoriasis sufferers observe new lesions 10 to 14 days after the skin is cut, scratched, rubbed, or severely sunburned, but it can appear up to several years afterwards. The degree of psoriasis can also vary. Skin injury and irritation, sun exposure, diet, stress and anxiety, medications, and infections have been known to make psoriasis worse.

Some people may experience limited psoriasis symptoms while others may experience more widespread symptoms of Koebner's Phenomenon psoriasis. Without treatment, Koebner's psoriasis is a potentially life-disruptive condition.
