    Winnie the Pooh and psoriasis too: an isomorphic response of guttate psoriasis in a tattoo.

    Horner KL, Chien AJ, Edenholm M, Hornung RL.

    Division of Dermatology, Department of Medicine, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington, USA.

    Since Koebner's first observance of the isomorphic response of psoriasis in a tattoo in 1872, a paucity of written reports has appeared in the literature describing this phenomenon, although it appears to be common knowledge among dermatologists. We report a strep-induced guttate psoriasis isomorphic response in a Winnie the Pooh tattoo in a 19-year-old.
