Abstract
Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) is a rare neutrophilic dermatosis. SPD most commonly presents as a serpiginous pattern of pustules on the trunk or intertriginous areas of middle-aged females. It tends to have a chronic disease course and patients may experience relapses. Dapsone currently remains the treatment of choice for SPD. However, in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, alternative therapies are required. We report a case of subcorneal pustular dermatosis in a G6PD deficient patient successfully treated with acitretin.
