    Abstract:
    Acrodermatitis continua suppurativa of Hallopeau (ACS) is a rare pustular variant of psoriasis in which numerous treatment modalities have been used without any consistent long-term effect. We report for the first time two patients with ACS which was successfully treated with topical tacrolimus 0.1% ointment. Our observations raise hopes that this new treatment strategy for ACS may constitute a novel effective therapeutic option for this recalcitrant condition.
