GlossaryPustular Dermatosis

group of skin conditions with pus-filled blisters

Pustular dermatosis refers to a group of skin conditions characterized by the presence of pustules, which are small, inflamed, pus-filled blisters. These conditions can be caused by infections, autoimmune diseases, or other inflammatory processes. For example, pustular psoriasis is a type of pustular dermatosis where the immune system mistakenly attacks the skin, leading to widespread pustules.
