title: [A woman with skin abnormalities around the mouth].
abstract: A 33-year-old healthy woman consulted her dermatologist when an acute and painful perioral pustular dermatosis erupted one day after she had taken azitromycin for a throat infection. A preliminary diagnosis of acute localized exanthematous pustulosis (ALEP) was made, which was later confirmed by cultures and histopathological examination. Medication was cessated immediately and the dermatosis disappeared completely afterwards.
