July 2022 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology” Acute Localised Exanthematous Pustulosis (ALEP) was described as a less recognized variant of Acute Generalised Exanthematous Pustulosis (AGEP), often triggered by drugs like amoxicillin-clavulanic acid.

The study highlighted dermoscopic features, such as milky-white globules and peripheral dotted vessels, aiding in diagnosis. ALEP was linked to a Type IV hypersensitivity reaction, involving CD8+ T cells and neutrophils, with a potential genetic predisposition shared with pustular psoriasis.
