A 5‐year‐old Japanese girl developed follicular pustules with erythematous plaques on the lower extremities. The histopathology was compatible with eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF). However, the clinical findings were not typical of EPF; the pustules did not appear in crops, the pustules became ulcers, and the skin lesions appeared exclusively on non‐seborrheic areas.
