Renbök phenomenon

In the field of dermatology, the Renbök phenomenon is a phenomenon where one skin condition inhibits another.[1][2] It is also known as the reverse Koebner phenomenon.[1] The term was first used by Happle et al. in 1991.[3] The word "Renbök" is a neologism, made from a reversal of the letters of the name "Köbner".[4]
