Abstract

The pustules are elementary lesions in dermatology consisting of circumscribed collections of pus. They can appear in multiple dermatological diseases of diverse etiology, both of infectious, autoinmune, multifactorial or unknown cause. To establish a correct diagnosis is essential to conduct a thorough medical history and a complete dermatological examination identifying the type of injury, its location and distribution, generalized or localized. Also sometimes it will be necessary to perform other complementary tests like skin biopsy or cultures and stains of the contents of pustules
