Abstract
We present three patients who developed pronounced redness and scaling in the face, head and neck during treatment with dupilumab indicated for atopic dermatitis (AD). Clinically, these patients suffered from head-neck dermatitis, which is a subtype of AD. Histopathological results showed a remarkable neutrophilic dermatosis with an eczematous background and no characteristics of rosacea. We found an elevated serum level of specific IgE for Malassezia. Treatment with oral itraconazole showed a good clinical response. © 2019, Stichting Beheer Tijdschriften Dermatologie. All right reserved.
