Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (Ofuji disease) manifested as pustules on the palms and soles.
Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) is clinically characterized by eosinophilic follicular papulopustules that form annular configurations on the face, trunk, and extremities. We describe a case of a patient whose EPF manifested on the soles of the feet, an area that normally does not contain hair follicles. The patient experienced a dramatic therapeutic response to indomethacin.
