摘要
Erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp (EPDS) is a chronic inflammatory condition with an unclear etiology that typically occurs on sun-damaged skin of older individuals. Clinically it is characterized by sterile pustules, erosions, and crusting that can lead to scarring alopecia and skin atrophy (Yang et al., 2016; Broussard et al., 2012; Cunha et al., 2019). EPDS is a therapeutic challenge and often resistant to numerous treatments. Herein, we describe a case of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp in a patient with lichen planopilaris successfully treated with curettage followed by aminolevulinic acid photodynamic therapy.
