Localized Hypertrichosis in Subsiding Psoriatic Plaques

The letter to the editor discussed a phenomenon of localized hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth) observed in subsiding psoriatic plaques. The authors, Bhushan Kumar, Kamaldeep Sandhu, and Inderjeet Kaur from the Department of Dermatology Venereology and Leprology at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India, reported this unusual occurrence. They noted that as the psoriatic plaques began to heal, there was an unexpected increase in hair growth in the affected areas. This observation suggested a potential link between the healing process of psoriatic lesions and hair growth, warranting further investigation into the underlying mechanisms.
