Abstract

A 38-year-old man presented with a 8-year history of vesicles and crusted erosions of the intertriginous folds Prior treatment had included topical glucocorticoids, mupirocin, and minocycline, all of which provided minimal relief. A skin biopsy specimen was consistent with Hailey-Hailey disease. Similar history was also present in younger sibling 32 year old. Our patient responded to erbium yag 2940 with complete remission with follow up period of 1 year 6months duration. Hailey-Hailey disease is the result of mutations in the ATP2C1 gene and is characterized by recurrent vesicles and erosions in intertriginous areas.
