Acropustulosis of infancy
Synopsis

The etiology is not fully elucidated; however, it is thought by some authors to represent a post-scabetic phenomenon.
Acropustulosis of infancy may wax and wane for years with pruritic lesions recurring initially every few weeks, then every few months, with the duration and intensity of episodes diminishing over time, ultimately resolving completely.
