Abstract
- Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) is characterized by recurrent crops of pruritic, erythematous plaques studded with follicular papules and pustules that often form annular configurations. The distribution is usually asymmetric. A 27-year-old Korean man had atypical clinical findings with a butterfly rash-like symmetric erythema on the face without any papules or pustules and brownish patches with follicular papules on the back, which was diagnosed as EPF by histopathologic findings.
