Acrodermatitis

Gianotti-Crosti syndrome on the leg

Hepatitis B

Papular acrodermatitis of childhood; Gianotti-Crosti syndrome; Acrodermatitis - infantile lichenoid; Acrodermatitis - papular infantile; Papulovesicular acro-located syndrome

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

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

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

Call your health care provider if your child shows signs or symptoms described here.
