Abstract
In a 50-year-old man steroid dermatosis developed after using mainly betamethasone valerate cream for over five years. In the course of the treatment for steroid dermatosis, folliculopustular and infiltrative lesions appeared on his eyebrow and lower jaw. On histological examination of the biopsy specimens of the lesion, typical eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) was revealed. The skin lesions of EPF disappeared nine weeks after complete discontinuation of the use of steroids for topical application.
