I have psoriasis and have had a reactivation of the disease right after a hair transplant. The disease is now worse than it ever was. Do you have any advice?
When trauma (surgery is a trauma) occurs in the psoriasis skin, a Koebner reaction may occur. This requires a good dermatologist to manage the process. It is a complex management problem. Please read the following sites for more info:
