Acropustulosis of Hallopeau

Description

An uncommon pustular form of psoriasis which may rarely eventuate into generalised pustular psoriasis. It is characterised by pustules and variable scaling occurring in and around the nails and nail-beds of the fingers and toes. It may cause marked nail destruction and may be associated with a distal interphalangeal joint arthritis, with palmoplantar pustulosis or with plaque psoriasis elsewhere.
