Inverse relationship between contact allergy and psoriasis: results from a patient‐ and a population‐based study

Background  An inverse association between contact allergy and autoimmune diseases has been suggested. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease and it has been debated whether contact allergy is less prevalent among patients with psoriasis. Previous studies have shown conflicting results.
