Abstract

An otherwise healthy 47-year-old woman presented with confluent pustular lesions on the scalp for 5 months and asymptomatic pustular lesions on the trunk and extremities for 2 weeks. She did not have systemic clinical manifestations and was treated with oral antifungals and antibiotics (amoxicillin, and clavulanic acid and flucloxacillin), with no effect. The lesions were unrelated to her menstrual cycle, and she had no history of dermatosis, including acne, psoriasis, or folliculitis. (SKINmed. 2022;20:466-468).
