Sumario:Idiopathic palmoplantar hidradenitis (IPPH) is a disorder that mainly affects the palms and soles of children. Although many cases have been reported to occur after recreational swimming activities, whether IPPH is caused by intense physical activity or by Pseudomonas infection has yet to be proven. We report a case of a 3-year-old girl who presented with IPPH after swimming in a pool with evidence of P. aeruginosa contamination, further solidifying the association between Pseudomonas and IPPH.
