IgA pemphigus
IgA pemphigus is a subtype of pemphigus with two distinct forms:

Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (also known as Sneddon–Wilkinson disease and pustulosis subcornealis) is skin condition that is a rare, chronic, recurrent, pustular eruption characterized histopathologically by subcorneal pustules that contain abundant neutrophils.: 203  This is distinct from and not to be confused with subcorneal pustular dermatosis type of IgA pemphigus. Sneddons syndrome, also known as Ehrmann-Sneddon syndrome, is also a different syndrome.
Intraepidermal neutrophilic IgA dermatosis is characterized histologically by intraepidermal bullae with neutrophils, some eosinophils, and acantholysis.: 465

History
Early descriptions were made by Darrell Wilkinson, a British dermatologist.
