Palmoplantar Pustulosis (PPP) Overview

Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory disease that can occur alone or in association with arthritis. There is still controversy about whether it should be separated from psoriasis or classified as pustular psoriasis. Furthermore, drug-induced paradoxical PPP is a special variant of PPP that differs from classic PPP in several ways. Treatment of PPP is still challenging, and there are several treatment-resistant cases. The exact pathogenesis of PPP is still not fully understood. Besides genetic factors, several environmental factors and immune dysregulation are hypothesized. Bacteria and antimicrobial peptides (e.g., LL-37) contribute to the pathogenesis of PPP by induction of inflammation. IL-36 and IL-8 are chemoattractants and activators of neutrophils and have recently been suggested to be important for pustule formation in the acrosyringium. The severity of PPP is usually evaluated using adapted variants of the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and the Palmoplantar Pustulosis Area and Severity Index (PPPASI). The calculations are based on a subjective scoring of the severity of erythema (0–4), desquamation (0–4), infiltration and pustules (0–4), and the percentage of the affected area (0–6). Topical therapies, including corticosteroids and vitamin D derivatives, remain first-line therapies for PPP. Furthermore, UV therapies such as UVA and UVB therapies, excimer laser, and psoralen and UVA (PUVA) treatment are widely recommended.
