Sub corneal pustular dermatosis: A case Study
Authors

Abstract
Subcorneal pustular dermatosis is
also known as Sneddon-Wilkinson disease and is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis
in which recurrent crops of sterile pustules appear in the most superficial
layers of the skin. The majority of cases have been reported in adult females,
generally over the age of 40. It is most common in middle-aged adults (particularly
women) but can develop in children. The cause of subcorneal pustular dermatosis
is still not known but IgA monoclonal gammopathy and multiple myeloma like
factors are found to be responsible for occurrence. Phototherapy with psoralen
with UVA (PUVA), broadband UVB, and narrowband UVB alone or in
combination with dapsone and/or retinoids can be successful at controlling
sub-corneal pustular dermatosis.
