“…The clinical and histological similarities justified classification of this case with this entity. As in the cases reported by Taïeb et al [7], the histological lesions observed appeared to be interfollicular. The hypothesis of lesions secondary to scabies is improbable in view of: (1) the absence of demonstration of Sarcoptes on the various samples performed, (2) the fact that the recurrences were always located in the same region of skin, (3) the absence of a family context suggestive of scabies and (4) the efficacy of corticosteroids without extension of the lesions during treatment.…”

“…Other lesions may be observed on the trunk and limbs, but such lesions were never isolated in the series reported by Lucky et al [1] (5 cases), Giard et al [6] (4 cases) or Taïeb et al [7] (6 cases). This pustulosis, observed between the ages of a few months and 5 years (case 1 of Taïeb et al), is accompanied by moderate and inconstant circulating eosinophilia.…”

“…But a relationship between eosinophilic pustulosis and scabies can be discussed as for acropustulosis [5]: the lesions we saw in this infant should be postscabies lesions. The presence of genital lesions is sometimes also reported in eosinophilic pustulosis of the scalp (case 5 of the series of Taïeb et al [7]. …”

Eosinophilic pustulosis of the scalp was first described in 1984. It has also been described in other sites than the scalp. We report a case in which the lesions exclusively involved the genitals. A 4-month-old boy presented with papulopustular lesions of the genitals in the form of pyodermitis with a favourable course over several days but which subsequently recurred. A smear of a pustule revealed no signs of scabies or viral, fungal or bacterial infection. Histology showed a non-follicular eosinophilic pustulosis. This case emphasizes the ubiquitous and sometimes misleading nature of eosinophilic pustulosis and the non-follicular nature of the lesions.

“…26 Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis of infancy does not tend to improve with antibiotic treatment and will sometimes improve with topical steroid treatment. 25,26 In our cohort, the newborn rash of HIES often required antibiotic treatment. In fact, 9 parents gave a history of successful treatment of their child's newborn rash with oral antibiotics (6 patients), Burow soaks, and gentian violet baths.…”

“…The age of on- set is older in EPF, with most cases occurring between ages 5 and 10 months rather than in the first month. 25 Lucky et al 26 described EPF in 5 patients younger than 1 year who had recurrent crops of pruritic papulopustules on the scalp. Intermittent outbreaks on the trunk and extremities occurred in 3 children.…”
