Abstract

Amicrobial pustulosis associated with autoimmune diseases is an eruption involving the cutaneous flexures and scalp. We report two young women with this disease, in whom pustulosis healed with zinc supplementation. We suggest that it may be relevant to measure plasma zinc level in patients with such a disease.
