Infantile acropustulosis: a case report

Abstract

<p>Acropustulosis is a benign cutaneous disease. It is characterized by recurrent crops of pruriginous vesicles, papules and pustules affecting the acral areas. It is self-resolving. Its etiology is unknown but it can be associated with scabies. Typically begins between 2 to 24 months of life, but can also occur in children. We report a case of infantile acropustulosis in a 11-year-old boy which started at the age of 3 years. </p>
