Abstract
- Both vitiligo and psoriasis are common skin disorders, which rarely coexist. We report a case of psoriasis which developed on a vitiligo lesion in a 58-year-old woman. We also discuss the possible mechanism of co-localization of vitiligo and psoriasis, including the role of autoimmunity, Koebner phenomenon, and common neuropeptides.
