  • Fig. 1 Clinical appearance of scaly, annular pustular erythemas on the patient's abdomen at the time of admission. The 10 cm-diameter erythemas were scaly and annular with pustular margins. Bacteriological culture of the contents of the pustules was not performed; however, no infectious symptoms were observed.

  • Fig. 2 Histological findings of scaly erythemas with pustules on the abdomen. H&E staining revealed acanthosis, spongiosis, and neutrophilic pustules in the upper spinous layer (×100).
