Abstract:
Subcorneal pustular dermatosis is a chronic, benign, relapsing pustular eruptions characterized histologically by subcorneal pustules which contain abundant neutrophils. We report a case of subcorneal pustular dermatosis occured in a 71-year-old male with typical climcal lesions. Biopsy of a pustule showed a subcorneal cavity with numerous neutrophils, which were also scattered throughout the Malpighian layer below. The result of imrnunofluorescent studies was negative. His eruption is controlled by DDS (25-100mg daily) but the eruptions recur quickly on sessation of the drug.
