Abstract
Hailey-Hailey disease is a rare autosomal dominant skin disorder that typically affects the intertriginous areas. The responsible defect has been identified in the gene named ATP2C1 on chromosome 3q21-24. We present a 50-year-old man with a 16-year history of blistering eruptions and positive familial history where this disease had appeared through four generations. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathologic studies and negative immunofluorescence findings. A combination of topical tacrolimus therapy and oral erythromycin seemed to play a considerable part in this case, in which all of the lesions healed within 2 weeks.Entities:
