Abstract
Purpose of Review
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the evaluation and management of the most encountered pustular dermatoses in the inpatient setting.
Recent Findings
Generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), and acneiform eruptions are three pustular dermatoses encountered in the inpatient setting. New insights into the pathophysiology of these diseases are guiding the investigation of novel treatments for pustular dermatoses.
Summary
Although cases of pustular dermatoses are often benign and self-limited, careful evaluation and management are indicated as severe cases may pose legitimate health risks and require systemic therapy. Biologic agents are playing a larger role in the management of pustular dermatoses such as GPP.
