Eosinophilic pustular folliculitis (EPF) is clinically characterized by eosinophilic follicular papulopustules that form annular configurations on the face, trunk, and extremities. We describe a case of a patient whose EPF manifested on the soles of the feet, an area that normally does not contain hair follicles. The patient experienced a dramatic therapeutic response to indomethacin.
