Sumario:Palmoplantar pustulosis (PPP) is a rare chronic pustular condition that affects the palms and soles. Smoking and focal infections and dental metal allergies are risk factors for PPP development. Here we report a case of a 60-year-old woman who experienced a relapse of PPP after receiving the COMIRNATY vaccine against COVID-19. The patient relapsed after being in remission for seven years. This article shows the possible implications of COVID-19 vaccination related to the relapse of previous diseases and stresses the importance of careful observation of post-vaccination occurrences of skin eruptions, especially in patients having a history of PPP.
