Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) is a rare, chronic, recurrent dermatosis characterised by sterile pustules. It develops mainly in middle-aged or elder women, but is also rarely seen in children. The exact aetiology of the disease is unknown. In literature, cases associated with IgA gammopathy have been reported. In this article; we report a case of a five-year-old girl who was diagnosed as SPD by clinical features, histopathological characteristics, and direct immunofluorescence analysis results. IgA was high, and IgG-IgM and CD19+ B cell were low. We noticed that during IVIG treatment for immunodeficiency, dermatological symptoms were recovered rapidly. Clinical profile of SPD and its association with systemic diseases may provide early detection of immune dysfunction.

Sneddon-Wilkinson (SW) disease is rare condition which typically occurs in the context of a monoclonal immunoglobulin and treatment options have not been well studied. Here we present a case of a 65-year-old female with SW with underlying, otherwise indolent, lymphoplasmacytic lymphoma (LPL) with an IgA paraprotein, who achieved a complete skin remission with the administration of the Bruton Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor (BTKi), acalabrutinib.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, an infrequent adverse drug reaction, mainly results from drugs. Clinically, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis manifests as a high fever, with skin lesions of small monomorphic subcorneal sterile pustules on an erythematous that presents at 1-4 days after medication exposure. The incidence of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis varies from 3/1, 000, 000 to 5/1, 000, 000, while the mortality rate is typically around 5%.
