Abstract
Abstract: A 43-year old female was presented with pruritic patches for 8 months. She was treated with various kinds of oral and topical medications, consequently brought some adverse reactions. Skin biopsy was performed and revealed eosinophilic pustular folliculitis. This disease may be underdiagnosed due to clinical findings resembling other skin diseases. In suspicious cases, pathotological investigation is necessary for definite diagnosis.
