Abstract
A new autosomal, dominantly inherited epidermal disorder in humans is described in which a spreading dissection of the stratum corneum with redness of the palms and soles occurs as a result of a centrifugal necrobiosis of the Malpighian layer below it. It is seen characteristically in winter. In extensive cases the limbs and trunk are affected with gyrate scaling erythemas.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
