Hailey–Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by development of recurrent blisters, erosions, and crustations in the intertriginous areas. The treatment of HHD is often challenging, and various methods have been tried. We report here a case of a 45‐year‐old woman with a generalized form of HHD that was dramatically improved and well controlled by narrow‐band ultraviolet B phototherapy. |
