These elements are mainly absorbed into the blood circulation through eating metal-containing food or using metal dental materials, and then excreted through sweat to the thicker keratin layer of the palm and plantar sensitization and the onset of the disease, most scholars believe that it is a limited pustular psoriasis. Our department has found several cases of pustular psoriasis of palmoplantar origin, which later developed into psoriasis. 2. At present, there are many treatment methods for this disease, such as glucocorticoid, polyaromatic retinoic acid, traditional Chinese medicine, UVB treatment, etc., but the therapeutic effect is not satisfactory. 3.
