TLDR Chronic burn scars may lead to scalp skin issues, so doctors should consider this when diagnosing.
This document reports on three cases of erosive pustular dermatosis of the scalp (EPDS) arising on long-standing burn scars. The authors suggest that chronic burn scars may be a precipitating factor for EPDS. They recommend that clinicians include EPDS in the differential diagnosis when encountering erosive pustular dermatosis on the scalp in patients with a history of long-standing burn scars.
