Introduction: Hailey-Hailey disease is an adult-onset skin condition characterized by lesions in the intertriginous regions of the body. The lesions can be pruritic, painful, and associated with physical and social impairment.
Case Presentation: We present a case of psoriasiform Hailey-Hailey disease in a 60-year-old white woman who exhibited erythematous psoriasiform plaques in many areas of her body. The patient's condition was successfully treated with a twice-daily regimen of doxycycline, mometasone, and clindamycin.
Discussion: It is important to recognize this variant of Hailey-Hailey disease so it can be diagnosed and treated promptly. Hailey-Hailey disease can be treated with topical corticosteroids and antibiotics and usually is associated with a positive prognosis.

Papular acantholytic dyskeratosis (PAD) of the vulva is an uncommon benign condition characterized by multiple hyperkeratotic papules in the anogenital region. First described in 1984, PAD belongs to the spectrum of focal acantholytic dyskeratoses and shares histopathological features with Darier disease and Hailey-Hailey disease. Despite its persistence, PAD is benign, requiring only reassurance in many cases.
