Abstract:

Generalized pustular psoriasis is a rare form of psoriasis that is characterized by the eruption of sterile pustules. Because of the concern of the long term teratogenetic effect of acitretin in females of childbearing age, we treated a 16-year-old girl with pustular psoriasis with isotretinoin with excellent outcome.
