Subcorneal pustular dermatitis is a rare skin disorder that is characterized by the formation of small, raised, pus-filled blisters on the surface of the skin. it is thought to be caused by an abnormal immune response to the skin's own proteins. it can occur in both adults and children, and is more common in women than men.
What happens during the disease - subcorneal pustular dermatitis
Subcorneal pustular dermatitis is a rare autoimmune disorder caused by an antibody-mediated reaction against the basement membrane zone of the epidermis. it is thought to be caused by an antibody-mediated attack of the basement membrane zone, resulting in the release of inflammatory cytokines, which then leads to an accumulation of neutrophils in the epidermis resulting in the formation of pustules.
