RESUMEN
@#Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is an uncommon acantholytic disorder of the skin. This is a case of a 64-year-old Filipino female with a chronic history of painful and malodorous intertriginous plaques. Histopathologic evaluation showed overlapping features of pemphigus vulgaris and Hailey-Hailey disease. A negative direct immunofluorescence test clinched the diagnosis of Hailey-Hailey disease. The patient was advised regarding preventive measures and treated with topical antibiotics and corticosteroids with improvement of her lesions.
