Short-Term Relief with Upadacitinib: A Case Report of Palmoplantar Pustulosis in a Pediatric Patient
Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with recurrent erythema, scales, and sterile pustules on the palms and soles. Treating PPP in children is difficult due to limited effective therapies, especially as there's a lack of data on upadacitinib use in children under 12.This article reports a pediatric PPP case. The patient had severe, recurring rashes that affected daily activities. Treated with upadacitinib for two months, she showed a significant therapeutic response.
