Abstract
- Pustular psoriasis refers to a group of disorder characterized by recalcitrant, sterile pustular eruption. It classified into four clinical patterns: Zumbusch, annular, exanthematous, and localized. Annular pustular psoriasis consists of gyrate, annular lesions with an erythematous, scaly, pustular margin. In contrast to the Zumbusch variety, the annular type is benign and less severe. We herein report a case of annular pustular psoriasis of a 9-year-old girl with review of the literature.
