A 32‐year‐old Japanese man was seen because of a crusted and oozing plaque on his scalp of 3 years' duration. Histologically, suprabasal clefts and bullae containing acantholytic cells as well as intercellular IgG and C3 deposits were found by the direct immunofluorescent technique. There were no circulating pemphigus antibodies. The lesion was controlled by the topical application of 0.05% clobetasol propionate ointment and remained localized for the following 2 years.
