Abstract

A 45-year-old woman presented with a six-month history of Hailey-Hailey disease, which was recalcitrant to many dermatologic therapies including systemic antibiotics, dapsone, and topical corticosteroids. We precribed tacrolimus (0.1%) ointment for application to the lesions twice a day and examined weekly for the efficacy; the lesions were much improved after 6 weeks of treatment.
