We report two cases of Caucasian women who developed folliculocentric pustulosis after exposure to amoxycillin. A literature review found that most amoxycillin‐related pustular eruptions were reported as acute generalised exanthematous pustulosis ( AGEP ) or acute localised exanthematous pustulosis ( ALEP ). Histopathology from both our cases showed sterile suppurative folliculitis, which resolved on the cessation of amoxycillin.
