Acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau (ACH) is a rare type of localized pustular psoriasis. We report the case of a 65-year-old alcoholic woman who had severe inflammatory ACH for 10 years. Initial therapy with sulfasalazine was unsuccessful. The patient was then treated with oral tetracycline and topical betamethasone valerate with occlusive dressing. Her condition improved dramatically after one week.
