AB A  1-year-old  boy  is  brought  for  a  second  opinion  about  the  recurrent  pruritic  vesicles  and  pustules  on  his  hands  and  feet.  This  is  the  third  episode,  and  in  both  previous  episodes,  the  physicians  thought  the  child  had  scabies.  The  child  was  treated  with  permethrin  both  times  and  within  2  to  3  weeks  the  skin  cleared.  No  other  family  members  have  had  lesions  or  symptoms.  Figures  94-1  to  94-3  demonstrate  a  typical  case  of  infantile  acropustulosis  that  is  often  misdiagnosed  as  scabies.  Although  the  condition  can  be  recurrent,  it  is  ultimately  self-limited  and  will  resolve.
