Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD), or familial benign chronic pemphigus, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by recurrent vesicles and erosions in intertriginous areas. Topical corticosteroids are the primary treatment, but their potential systemic side effects are often overlooked. Prolonged use on compromised skin can lead to excessive absorption, increasing the risk of iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome and adrenal insufficiency.

Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis caused by mutations in the ATP2C1 gene, leading to impaired calcium homeostasis and epidermal acantholysis. Clinically, it manifests as recurrent, painful erosions in the intertriginous areas and is often resistant to conventional treatments, such as topical corticosteroids, antibiotics, and retinoids. This report describes the case of a 67-year-old woman with refractory HHD who presented with painful, pruritic erosions affecting the axillary, inguinal, and inframammary regions.

Familial benign chronic pemphigus, also known as Hailey-Hailey disease, was first described by the Hailey brothers in 1939 (1). It represents a chronic autosomal-dominant genetic skin disorder with incomplete penetrance, usually diagnosed in children and young adults. As a result, family history of this disorder can be elicited in only about 66% of patients.

Hailey-Hailey disease is a rare, chronic, autosomal dominant skin disorder characterized by recurrent painful erosions and macerated plaques, primarily affecting intertriginous areas. It is caused by mutations in the gene, leading to impaired calcium homeostasis and keratinocyte adhesion. Many patients experience poor disease control despite conventional therapies.
