Etymology
The term 'Pustular' is derived from the Latin word 'pustula', meaning 'blister' or 'pimple', and 'Bacterid' is a combination of 'bacteria' and the suffix '-id', which is used in medical terminology to denote a condition caused by a particular organism or factor.
Definition
Pustular Bacterid is a non-infectious pustular dermatosis, which means it is a skin condition characterized by the formation of small, pus-filled blisters (pustules) that are not caused by an infection. The pustules typically appear on the hands and feet, but can also occur on other parts of the body.

Causes
The exact cause of Pustular Bacterid is unknown. However, it is believed to be an immune response to certain types of bacteria, hence the name 'Bacterid'.
Treatment
Treatment for Pustular Bacterid typically involves the use of topical creams and ointments to help reduce inflammation and soothe the skin. In some cases, oral medications may be prescribed to help manage the condition.
