Acute Generalized Exanthematous Pustulosis is a rare drug-induced skin disorder that can present at any age. It is typically noted by swelling and erythema, with numerous facial and/or anogenital nonfollicular pustules that quickly disseminate. Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome presents with erythema and swelling that similarly favor the head and intertriginous sites with subsequent bullae formation. We present a case of a four-year-old female who presented with SSSS complicated by the development of AGEP and discuss the course of her condition and treatment.

Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) is the most common subtype of pemphigus, a rare group of autoimmune bullous diseases affecting the skin and mucous membranes. PV can be further subdivided into mucocutaneous and mucosal dominant types, depending on the extent of cutaneous involvement. Almost all cases of PV have mucosal involvement; however, a rare variant of cutaneous-only PV has been reported in the literature. To our knowledge, only two previous accounts of unilesional scalp PV have been reported. We present an unusual case of cutaneous-only PV involving the scalp.
