What a fascinating observation — could trauma to the eye area trigger psoriasis along nerve lines on the scalp?
What you're describing sounds like it could be related to the Koebner phenomenon, where psoriasis develops at sites of skin injury or trauma. This is a well-known psoriasis trigger.
The "running along nerve lines" pattern you're noticing is really interesting. This can sometimes occur with psoriasis, as nerve pathways can influence where flares appear, particularly on the scalp and face. Scalp psoriasis commonly appears in these areas:
- Behind the ears
- Along the hairline
- Forehead
- Back of the neck
- Around the eye area
These locations do follow facial nerve pathways, so your observation makes a lot of sense.
It's really worth bringing this up with your dermatologist, describing exactly what you've noticed about the pattern. The more detail you can share, the better they can tailor your treatment. Tracking photos over time could also help show the progression clearly.
