palmoplantar pustulosis (skin disease)

The breakdown of the palmoplantar pustulosis skin disease is:
掌 = palm (tanagokoro)
蹠 = sole of the foot (ashiura)
膿疱 = pustules
症 = disease

Please see article in below website about Dr. Masaru Maebashi (National Akita Hospital) who has treated the skin disease. It was previously considered incurable but it seems Dr. Maebashi has been able to cure patients with the disease.

Palmoplantar pustulosis has been now considered as an incurable skin disease characterized by pustular eruptions on the palms and soles of the feet.
