Successful treatment of palmoplantar pustulosis with isotretinoin.

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Acitretin represents an important treatment for PPP, but is limited by adverse effects and extended teratogenicity. Our experience supports the utility of isotretinoin as a potential therapeutic alternative, which may be particularly beneficial in patients who are poor candidates for or unable to tolerate acitretin therapy.
