Abstract:
We report a case of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis in a 6-month-old male infant who had pruritic, tiny, erythematous papulopustules on his scalp and eosinophilia in the peripheral blood. Histopathologic examination revealed an acute follicu1ar and perifollicular inflammatory infiltrate with abundant eosinophils. The patient responded to systemic and topical corticosteroid and dapsone.
