Abstract

We report a case of infantile acropustulosis in a 7 month-old female infant who had a family history of scabies in her parents and brother. She had pruritic papulovesicles and pustules, predominantly on the hands and feet. Histopathologically, there was a well-circumscribed unilocular, subcorneal pustule filled with neutrophils, mostly. Under the diagnosis of an infantile acropustulosis associated with scabies, she was treated with a potent topical corticosteroid and oral antihistamines without recurrence.
