Pustular lesion is large, but there isn't a psoriasiform hyperplasia neither  spongiform intraepidermal abscess around the big one, so I go with Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis ( paracetamol? Other? ).

Agree with AGEP. There is too much spongiosis for pustular psoriasis althought eosinophils are not clear in these images, another differential diagnosis is Ig A pemphigus that can mimic AGEP. Agree CPC needed

AGEP.  It's hard to see them, but there are eosinophils in the bottom two and the middle right panels.
