Pustular Psoriasis Occurring on the Striae Distensae: An Umpteenth Example of Immunocompromised Cutaneous District

Sir, We read with great interest the report recently published in the Indian Journal of Dermatology by Balasubramanian and Srinivas[1] which describes a patient with pustular psoriasis occurring on the striae distensae.[1] The patient complained recurrent episodes of generalized pustular eruptions since the age of 15 years. Since the disease was recalcitrant, the patient had assumed systemic steroids during an acute exacerbation, developing steroid-induced striae distensae over the anterior abdomen, arms, and thighs. The authors reported that the current episode of pustular psoriasis was characterized by the striking occurrence of pustular eruptions on the striae.[1]
