Acrodermatitis

Alternative Names:

Papular acrodermatitis of childhood; Gianotti-Crosti syndrome; Acrodermatitis - infantile lichenoid; Acrodermatitis - papular infantile; Papulovesicular acro-located syndrome
Treatment:

Acrodermatitis by itself is not treated. Associated conditions, such as hepatitis B and Epstein-Barr virus infection, should be managed appropriately.


Expectations (prognosis):


Acrodermatitis is considered a self-limiting disease that disappears without complication. However, the associated conditions must be watched carefully.


Complications:

Complications occur as a result of associated conditions, rather than as a result of acrodermatitis.


Calling your health care provider:
