Abstract

Hailey-Hailey disease is an uncommon genodermatoses characterised by recurrent vesicular and erosive lesions that favour the intertriginous areas, especially axilla and groin. Longitudinal leukonychia in multiple finger nails may appear concurrently, prior to or may follow the skin lesions in this disease (two-third patients). Here we are presenting a case of Hailey-Hailey disease in a 40 years old male with nail changes preceding the skin manifestations.
