A unilateral, linear, papular–pustular dermatosis is described in a young Brittany Spaniel dog. The dermatosis appeared to follow Blaschko’s lines and extended from the left inguinal region to the medial aspect of the left metatarsal area. The predominant histological finding was an eosinophilic and neutrophilic pustular mural folliculitis with prominent acantholysis of infundibular epithelium. There was a rapid and long‐lasting (> 15 months) resolution after oral administration of methylprednisolone (1.6 mg kg −1 ).
