Papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome

Papular purpuric gloves and socks syndrome is a cutaneous condition characterized by pruritus, edema, and erythema of the hands and feet, occurring primarily in teenagers and young adults.[1]: 401  In 1996, an association with parvovirus B19 was described, after virus was demonstrated in skin biopsy samples.[2] subsequently corroborated in numerous publications.[3] [4]
