Barber insisted that palmoplantar pustulosis is a pustular form of psoriasis. Psoriasis with pustules is occasionally seen; however, such a phenomenon occurring restricted to the palms and soles is considered to be rare.
Palmar-plantar pustulosis (PPP – also sometimes spelled as palmoplantar psoriasis) is a localised form of psoriasis which affects the palms and/or soles of the feet. Evidence suggests that it tends to occur in people between the ages of 20 and 60, and is more common in people who smoke.
Researchers have found some possible causes including smoking, infections, certain medications and genetics. Smoking: Many patients who have PPP are smokers or have smoked in the past. Smoking may cause sweat glands to become inflamed, especially on the hands and feet, which causes pustules to form.
Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) or palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (PPPP) affects the palms and/or the soles and is characterized by eruptions of sterile pustules on an erythemato-squamous background. The prevalence of PPP is estimated to range from 0.01 to 0.05% [1].
Palmoplantar pustulosis negatively affects a person's life; there is no cure or standard treatment.

Accelerated epidermopoiesis is considered to be the fundamental pathologic feature in psoriasis. Common polygenetically determined, chronic, squamous dermatosis characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. Psoriasis is a skin disease that causes itchy or sore patches of thick, red skin with silvery scales.
A common genetically determined, chronic, inflammatory skin disease characterized by rounded erythematous, dry, scaling patches. Psoriatic lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region; the pathology involves an accelerated epidermopoiesis. Psoriasis is associated with increased risk ...

The lesions have a predilection for nails, scalp, genitalia, extensor surfaces, and the lumbosacral region.
Psoriasis falls under “Other inflammatory conditions of skin and subcutaneous tissue”, which is between codes 690 and 698. The disease itself has a code 696 (Psoriasis and similar disorders), which is divided into the sub-codes:
As opposed to ICD – 9, which has only point 696.1 for psoriasis and similar disorders, ICD – 10 has an L40 subdivision to describe the various types of psoriasis.
Majority of the U.S. healthcare systems use the ICD-9 codes for making diagnosis and settling payments. The coding is standard around the world, however, in the 2010’s many countries went on to use ICD-10 and then ICD – 11 systems, which include more information.

L40.3 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of pustulosis palmaris et plantaris. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Pustulosis palmaris et plantaris (also known as "Pustulosis of palms and soles," "Palmoplantar pustulosis," "Persistent palmoplantar pustulosis," "Pustular psoriasis of the Barber type," and "Pustular psoriasis of the extremities") is a chronic recurrent pustular dermatosis localized on the palms and soles only, characterized histologically by intraepidermal vesicles filled with neutrophils.:411,628:204
Mild psoriasis of the palms and soles may be treated with topical treatments: Emollients: thick, greasy barrier creams applied thinly and frequently to moisturise the dry, scaly skin and help prevent painful cracking. Keratolytic agents such as urea or salicylic acid to thin down the thick scaling skin.
Palmoplantar psoriasis is diagnosed by its clinical appearance, supported by finding chronic plaque psoriasis in other sites. Mycology of skin scrapings may be performed to exclude fungal infection. Skin biopsy is rarely needed.
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease in which there are clearly defined, red, scaly plaques (thickened skin). There are various subtypes of psoriasis.
Psoriasis may be localised to the palms and soles or part of generalised chronic plaque psoriasis. Two common patterns are observed :
It may be triggered by an injury to the skin, an infection, or another skin condition such as hand dermatitis. It may first occur during a period of psychosocial stress. Certain medications, particularly lithium, may be associated with the onset of flares of psoriasis.
Plantar psoriasis. Palmar psoriasis. Palmoplantar psoriasis. See more images of palmoplantar psoriasis. Palmoplantar pustulosis and the rare acrodermatitis continua of Hallopeau ( acral pustulosis), in which yellow-brown pustules occur, are no longer classified as psoriasis. However, the conditions are associated.
Calcipotriol ointment is not very successful for palmoplantar psoriasis. It may also cause an irritant contact dermatitis on the face if a treated area inadvertently touches it. Dithranol is too messy and irritating for routine use on hands and feet.
What is plantar and palmar psoriasis? Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that can occur on your skin in various places. If it’s on the palms of your hands, it’s typically called palmar psoriasis. Psoriasis on the soles of your feet is often called plantar psoriasis.
Palmar and plantar psoriasis can be diagnosed during a physical examination. In some cases, skin scrapings or a skin swab sample may be used in order to help rule out fungal infection.
Palmar and plantar psoriasis usually cause the palms and soles to be partially or entirely covered in thickened, red skin. You may have sharp, noticeable borders where the skin changes from psoriasis patches to unaffected areas. You may also have painful cracks, called fissures. Other common symptoms of psoriasis include: silvery scales.
Because the skin on your soles and palms is naturally thicker, plantar and palmar psoriasis may be more difficult to treat. Your doctor may need to adjust your treatment or give you a combination of treatments. Your doctor may prescribe a topical treatment that you put directly on your skin, including:
