“…37,38 Occasionally, one can even see an increased hair density or hair shaft diameter within a psoriatic plaque (Figure 1C) 7,28 or hair preservation within a psoriatic plaque in alopecia areata patients (Renbök phenomenon). [39][40][41][42] This is quite unusual, since inflammatory scalp dermatoses, namely seborrheic dermatitis, typically promote catagen development in anagen HFs and thus cause telogen effluvium. [43][44][45][46][47] In fact, pro-inflammatory cytokines that are typically increased in a psoriatic skin lesions, such as TNFα, IL-1ß and IFNγ, 48 all inhibit human scalp hair growth ex vivo.…”

Physicians and investigators interested in either psoriasis or hair growth rarely interact to discuss pathways and mechanisms of potential common interest. And yet, it has long been recognized that both fields intersect closely and show more overlap than is widely appreciated. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Here, we review the relevant literature that points to a special relationship between the hair follicle (HF) and psoriasis and explain why a systematic re-examination of this axis is clinically relevant and promises to enrich both psoriasis and hair research.After we had first postulated that the induction of a psoriatic epidermal lesion and of anagen hair growth share selected "switch-on" mechanisms, 2 this concept was re-voiced in part two decades later 7 yet remains largely ignored and has not been rigorously probed until
