Abstract
Three cases of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji) are reported. The condition is characterized by follicular, tiny red papules with formation of pustules on fairly well-defined, slightly indurated erythematous plaques. The lesions have a tendency to central healing and peripheral extension, and are asymmetrically distributed on the face, the back, the arms, and sometimes the palms and/or soles. The condition proceeds with remissions and exacerbations. Histological features are pustular folliculitis from the ostium to the sebaceous gland, chiefly composed of polymorphs and eosinophiles.Keywords
