Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis is a distinct clinical subtype of folliculitis with a characteristic pattern of recurrence and skin involvement. Selecting the right treatment approach requires attention to the nature and extent of the follicular reaction.
This protocol addresses folliculitis in the setting of eosinophilic pustular folliculitis — a condition characterised by recurrent outbreaks of follicular erythematous papules and pustules that may coalesce to form polycyclic plaques, with central healing and peripheral extension.
Management involves a range of anti-inflammatory options — including both topical and systemic agents targeting the follicular inflammatory response. The structured protocol covers the full selection criteria and sequencing of available therapies.
