Subcorneal pustules with eosinophils was the final diagnosis. We reviewed the patient's clinical photographs and spoke with the clinician. Our differential diagnosis included: an erythrodermic version of a spongiotic dermatitis, such as atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, or drug hypersensitivity reaction; an unusual presentation of acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP); a subtle presentation of a primary autoimmune blistering disease (i.e., pemphigus foliaceus). Psoriasis and mycosis fungoides were not favored.
