Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis with labial and oral involvement: report of a rare presentation

Abstract

Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) is a recurrent inflammatory dermatosis primarily involving hair follicles. Several subtypes of EPF have been described: Classic EPF, infantile EPF, and immunosuppression-associated EPF.

Herein, we report a woman who presented with classic EPF involving the lip and oral mucosa.
