Abstract
We report a case of subcorneal pustular dermatosis (SPD) which did not respond to the medication with dapsone or retinoids. When the medication was changed to systemic corticosteroids we observed a dramatic improvement of the skin lesions. This case underlines the usefulness of systemic corticosteroids as a therapeutic alternative when standard therapy fails. A dose maintenance is necessary to avoid relapses.
