What symptom does continuous acrodermatitis have?

This disease first occurs in the end of fingers and toes (fingers are more common than toes), and most of them have a history of local mild trauma or infection. The lesions showed clusters of millet sized pustules on the basis of erythema. After the pustules dried up, scales and scabs were left behind. After removing scales or scabs, red and erosive surface or glossy erythema could be seen. Before long, there were new pustules in the same place, one after another.

The lesions gradually extend to the proximal end, and can invade the whole finger, toe, back of hand and foot, but usually not beyond the wrist and ankle joint. The patients with recurrent and delayed healing may have atrophy of subcutaneous tissue, bone absorption, thinning of fingers and toes, and even loss of distal phalanges. It is often accompanied by nail changes, such as tarnishing of the deck, vertical and horizontal grooves, redness and swelling of the nail bed, repeated small pustules, and severe deck shedding.

It may be accompanied by mucosal damage such as tongue. The patient felt pain and burning sensation consciously. The atrophy of skin and subcutaneous tissue led to flexion contracture deformity of the affected fingers (toes) and limited movement. Generally, there are no systemic symptoms.
