Abstract
|
|
|
|
Since its first description in 1887 as the appearance of psoriatic lesions in the uninvolved skin of psoriatic patients as a consequence of trauma, the Koebner phenomenon has been described in numerous diseases. Several types of injury can trigger the Koebner phenomenon, such as physical injury, surgical wound, irritation, sunburn, or radiation therapy. In this report, we describe a 43-year-old woman who developed erythema multiforme which was accompanied by the Koebner phenomenon after getting acupuncture and cupping glass therapy. The purpose of the report is to broaden our awareness of the spectrum of injury that can trigger the Koebner phenomenon.
