Abstract
We report a 71-year-old woman who had severe inflammatory acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau. The administration of local remedies, soft X-rays and a number of systemic treatments resulted only in transient and incomplete resolution of the lesions. The pustules, increased skin fragility, tender oedema and erythema were successfully controlled by the local administration of calcipotriol.
