Pulpitis refers to skin lesions involving the digital pulps or fingertips, often accompanied by symptoms such as stinging, burning, tingling and bleeding . Itch may be present, with varying intensity. This clinical presentation may result from different conditions, including ICD, ACD, PCD, atopic dermatitis and psoriasis . A pincer grasp pattern may guide clinical suspicion towards ACD, PCD or even ICD . Typically, pulpitis presents as well-demarcated eczematous lesions, with erythema and desquamation, on the fingertips, extending from the distal crease to ventral aspects of the fingertips. These areas are frequently associated with fissures. In some cases, the lesions may spread from the tips to the entire fingers or even the palms.
