The report deals with two cases of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis in a 45-year-old man and a 25-year-old woman. After their conditions failed to respond to oral and topical corticosteroids, minocycline, anti-allergic drugs, aspirin and several types of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, good results were obtained with acemetacin.
