Acrodermatitis

Alternative names:

Gianotti-Crosti syndrome; papular acrodermatitis

Treatment:

Acrodermatitis by itself is not treated. Associated conditions such as hepatitis B and Epstein-Barr virus infection should be managed appropriately.

Expectations (prognosis):

Acrodermatitis is considered a self-limiting disease that disappears without complication. However, the associated conditions must be watched carefully.

Complications:

Complications occur as a result of associated conditions rather than as a result of acrodermatitis.

Calling your health care provider:

Call your health care provider if signs or symptoms as described here are present.
