Abstract
Subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD), is rare, chronic, and relapsing pustuler eruption. Mostly, it affects middle-aged and elderly women. Mucosal involvement is extremely rare. Here we report a 31-year-old woman with generalized SPD with lip involvement. The patient had annular or serpiginous patterned well-demarcated plaques on the trunk, intertriginous areas and flexor aspects of the limbs, palmoplantar areas, face, and lip mucosa. The bullous lesions exhibited the typical half and half sign. The patient was treated successfully with systemic steroids and cyclosporine.
