Psoriasis vulgaris is an inflammatory papulosquamous and koebner positive disease of the skin. The isotopic (koebner) response, a result of secondary dermatitis, is unrelated with former recovery of dermatitis. Although first reported by Wolf et. al (1) with a series of 58 patients, koebnerization resulting from Herpes Zoster infection is extremely rare in the current literature. A 74-year-old female patient with a 7-day history of multiple papular eruptions on C5 dermatome was admitted to our clinic. Psoriatic lesions were observed on the same dermatome two weeks later. The clinical as well as histopathological confirmed psoriasis diagnosis.
