IgA pemphigus is a subtype of pemphigus with two distinct forms:
- Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (also known as "Sneddon–Wilkinson disease") (distinct from and not to be confused with subcorneal pustular dermatosis type of IgA pemphigus) is skin condition that is a rare, chronic, recurrent, pustular eruption characterized histopathologically by subcorneal pustules that contain abundant neutrophils.[1][2]:203
- Intraepidermal neutrophilic IgA dermatosis is characterized histologically by intraepidermal bullae with neutrophils, some eosinophils, and acantholysis.[2]:465
