Acute generalized Hailey-Hailey disease.

A patient with extensive histologically proven Hailey-Hailey disease is described whose initial clinical presentation was suggestive of erythema multiforme or toxic epidermal necrolysis. This potentially misleading morphology of acute proven Hailey-Hailey disease has not been described previously and may be a consequence of bacterial infection exacerbating acantholysis.

Acitretin for erythrokeratodermia variabilis in a 9-year-old girl.

Erythrokeratodermia variabilis (EKV) is a rare genodermatosis with a unique phenotype. Treatment with oral synthetic retinoids is well documented in adults, but not in children. We report a 9-year-old girl with EKV who cleared rapidly following treatment with oral acitretin.
