Abstrakt: Epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors are anti-tumour agents that are frequently used for the treatment of neoplastic disorders. In addition to their cutaneous adverse effects, these drugs can rarely lead to erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp. We report a case of a 67-year-old female who developed erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp after being started on erlotinib from a trichoscopic perspective, which has been described in literature only once till now.
