Question
In April 2010, it was discovered that the child’s limbs were swelling. After being hospitalized in June, the child was diagnosed with acral pachydermatosis. Currently, the child’s fingers have become curved, there are hardening phenomena in the limbs, and there is a condition of ulceration on the soles of the feet.
Answer
Acral pachydermatosis is an autoimmune disease. It is recommended to undergo standardized treatment in the rheumatology and immunology department. Early use of immunosuppressants can help improve the progression of the disease and can be used in conjunction with topical medications to improve regional symptoms. It is hoped that the child can receive standardized treatment as soon as possible and recover soon.
