We describe a case of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis in a 1-month-old Korean male infant. The patient was suffering from erythematous papules and pustules affecting the scalp, trunk, and extremities, detected at birth. The flare was accompanied by leukocytosis and eosinophila. Histopathology revealed folliculitis with a predominant eosinophilic infiltrate. Lesions showed partial response to topical steroid and disappeared in four weeks. Three months after the resolution of the lesions, he presented a similar clinical picture as the previous episode.
