The title of the abstract is “Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp: a diagnostic challenge.” The study was conducted by Ng and Lara Rivero. The study focuses on a rare and poorly understood skin condition called erosive pustular dermatosis (EPD) of the scalp, which can be challenging to diagnose and treat. The authors present two cases of EPD of the scalp, describing the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and treatment approach in each case. Both patients responded well to treatment with oral doxycycline and topical corticosteroids. The authors emphasize the importance of considering EPD in the differential diagnosis of scalp lesions, particularly in older adults with a history of scalp psoriasis or other inflammatory skin conditions. They also highlight the need for further research to better understand the pathogenesis, optimal management strategies, and prognosis of EPD of the scalp.
