Koebner Phenomenon in Psoriasis


Koebner phenomenon in psoriasis, also known as isomorphic response, refers to the induction of new psoriasis skin lesions following local trauma or injury to the skin.


Koebner phenomenon is named after Dr. Koebner who in the 19th century observed that a patient developed new lesions in areas where his horse bit him.
