Infantile acropustulosis is a recurrent, pruritic, vesicopustular eruption appearing mostly on the palms and soles. The present survey of 25 children with infantile acropustulosis is the most extensive reported since this entity was first described in 1979. Our cases conform to the recognized clinical course, but disclaim any male or ethnic origin predominance. Although the etiology of infantile acropustulosis is obscure, it may be ascribed to some infective agent. It is not limited to young children, and has been found in the siblings of patients who were followed. Suppressive therapeutic measures, such as topical corticosteroids under occlusion, were found to be effective. The disorder does not seem to be as rare as one might gather from the literature.

Infantile acropustulosis is a recurrent, pruriginous, vesiculopustular eruption of the palms and soles first described in 1979. We report six cases of infantile acropustulosis in recently emigrated children treated for scabies. Clinical follow-up was obtained by questionnaire addressed to patients' families and general practitioners. Our study suggests infantile acropustulosis is frequent in immigrant infants and could be a non-specific hypersensitivity reaction to Sarcoptes scabiei.

“…This process resolves on its own after an evolution of a few years, without residual problems. The intensity and the duration of IA attacks diminish with each recurrence 2 3. The main differential diagnosis of IA includes scabies,4 erythema toxicum neonatorum and transient neonatal pustular melanosis.…”
