    TLDR Pustules in toxic erythema are linked to hair follicles or sweat ducts.
    The study described seven patients with generalized toxic erythema characterized by sterile pustules, which were specifically localized to hair follicles or epidermal sweat ducts. Five of these patients had a history of medication use, exposure to organic solvents, or infections, suggesting a potential link between these factors and the development of the condition.
