Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) is a rare and localized form of pustular psoriasis that can lead to irreversible anonychia whereas Jaccoud's arthropathy (JA) is a rare non-articular condition characterized by a deforming non-erosive arthropathy involving the digits. This case describes the first reported association of these two rare conditions in a 73-year-old Filipino male who was treated topically until remission of ACH. Because calcipotriol/betamethasone ointment works better and faster than clobetasol ointment, it may be considered as a preferred first-line treatment for ACH. This case also highlights the evaluation of joint symptoms in the context of psoriatic arthritis and JA, along with a discussion of its management. A multidisciplinary approach involving dermatology, rheumatology, and physiatry is essential in the care of these two rare conditions.
