Abstract

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis(EPF) is characterized by recurrent crops of pruritic follicular papules and pustules that occur mainly on the face, trunk, and extremities. Histologically, the major distinguishing feature is abundant eosinophils that invade sebaceous glands and outer root sheaths of hair follicles. We herein report a typical case of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis for promoting research of this rare disease.
