ABSTRACT
Infantile acropustulosis is characterized by recurrent crops of pruritic vesicopustules that are found primarily on the distal extremities of infants. Herein we report a 20-month-old female baby, who had a past history of scabies, with recurrent episodes of 1-2 mm sized, intensely pruritic vesicopustules on both hands and feet. The mite smear for scabietic mites, Gram stain for bacteria, and KOH smear for dermatophytes of lesion were all negative. Tzank test of the vesicle revealed many neutrophils. She was treated with dapsone (2mg/kg/day) and the pruritic vesicles and pustules had disappeared by 48 hours.
