Summary Koebnerization is a well‐known phenomenon in diseases like vitiligo and psoriasis. Eyebrow plucking is a common procedure, which induces some trauma. This is a report of a woman with vitiligo whose vitiligo spread to the eyebrow area after eyebrow plucking by threading in a beauty parlour. This is an example of an unusual koebnerization of vitiligo by a very common cosmetic procedure.
