Abstract

Infantile acropustulosis is a rare entity in Pediatrics. It usually appears in children under 2 years of age and it is characterized by pruritic erythematous papules that turn into vesicles or pustules; mainly in acral areas (back of the hands and feet). Acropustulosis usually resolves spontaneously and requires only symptomatic treatment. We present the case of a six-month-old boy diagnosed with childhood acropustulosis with spontaneous resolution.
