Article Synopsis
- Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) is a rare inflammatory skin disease mainly involving eosinophils and can appear in both follicle areas and less commonly in follicle-free areas.
- This case study details two patients with difficult-to-treat EPF who had previous treatment failures with various standard therapies.
- Both patients responded positively to the medication abrocitinib, achieving complete remission in one week and four weeks, with no side effects reported, suggesting it could be a safe treatment option for EPF.
