Abstract
Our findings indicate that psoriasis lesions are associated with increased hair presence, which suggests a common activation mechanism linking psoriasis and hair follicle dynamics, and psoriatic lesion-induced scratching might be an additional stimulative factor of hair growth, warranting further investigation into the role of the Wnt pathway.
