Abstract
We report a 31-year-old man with sterile follicular pustules on the sh oulders, trunk and arms, recurring every year within 48-72 h of the ye ar's first exposure to the sun. Both clinical and histological charact eristics match those of the condition first described in 1985 under th e name actinic superficial folliculitis. We discuss possible relations hips with other similar conditions.
