This report describes two cases of Rapp–Hodgkin ectodermal dysplasia where refractory scalp erosions improved significantly with potent topical steroids; it also suggests a potential link between these scalp conditions and erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp in elderly patients.

Most dermatologic medications are safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but some should be avoided due to potential risks.

In this study of 20 patients with erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp, using trichoscopy improved diagnosis, and treatments with high-potency steroids or topical tacrolimus effectively reduced inflammatory signs, suggesting these as first-line treatments.

This study concluded that erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp may be a type of spongiotic, pustular superficial folliculitis, sharing similarities with other neutrophilic dermatoses.

This study identified trichoscopy as a key diagnostic tool for erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp and suggested high-potency steroids or tacrolimus as effective first-line treatments.
