L13.1: Subcorneal pustular dermatitis
You have a skin condition where blisters form on the skin.
The skin around the blisters is red. The blisters are filled with a cloudy fluid or pus. They burst easily and weep. Crusts can form on the blisters. As they heal, the skin may remain red and flaky for a while. Once the blisters have healed, new blisters can form some time later. You may also get a fever.
The skin lesions are mainly in the upper part of the body and on the head and in the areas where there is always skin-to-skin contact.
The exact cause of the disorder is not yet known.
