Eosinophilic pustulosis of the scalp was first described in 1984. It has also been described in other sites than the scalp. We report a case in which the lesions exclusively involved the genitals. A 4-month-old boy presented with papulopustular lesions of the genitals in the form of pyodermitis with a favourable course over several days but which subsequently recurred. A smear of a pustule revealed no signs of scabies or viral, fungal or bacterial infection. Histology showed a non-follicular eosinophilic pustulosis. This case emphasizes the ubiquitous and sometimes misleading nature of eosinophilic pustulosis and the non-follicular nature of the lesions.

Background: Icodextrin is a type of peritoneal dialysis (PD) osmolyte that can be extended retention times (8-16 h) and may offer a viable alternative to conventional glucose dialysis solutions for PD patients. Nonetheless, prolonged use of icodextrin may lead to allergic rash, and rarely severe skin lesions.
Case Presentation: In February 2024, a 45-year-old male was admitted to the Department of Nephrology at Shaoxing Second Hospital presenting with a 3-day history of intense generalized pruritic erythematous rash.

Article Synopsis
- Aseptic pustulosis consists of inflammatory skin conditions characterized by nonbacterial pustules and increased neutrophil and eosinophil presence in the skin.
- Research indicates that disruptions in the interleukin-36 pathway play a critical role in neutrophil aggregation and pustule development.
- The study identifies strong genetic links between IL36RN variants and various forms of aseptic pustulosis, highlighting potential therapeutic targets in the IL-1/IL-36-chemokine-neutrophil pathway.

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare entity characterized by fever associated with the sudden appearance of erythematous lesions, on which multiple sterile, non-follicular pustules develop. We describe a case of a 44-year-old healthy male who developed fever and multiple erythematous and edematous lesions with progressive generalization to the entire body, associated with multiple small non-follicular pustules three days after having started flucloxacillin for the treatment of a furuncle. Considering the characteristics of the exanthema, fever, and association with aminopenicillin initiation, AGEP was considered.
