Miliaria Pustulosa

Miliaria pustulosa is the retention of sweat in the mid-epidermis and upper dermis that manifests more resolutely than the bumps on the skin of an individual affected by miliaria rubra. Instead of erupting as reddened papules on the skin, miliaria pustulosa erupts as numerous fluid-filled pustules on the skin. The pustules develop on a patient's skin in addition to the same bumps that develop on the skin of someone with miliaria rubra. A pustule is defined as small coagulation of a pus-like substance in the upper layer of the individual's skin. The fluid inside of a pustule in an individual affected by miliaria pustulosa is a blend of different types of inflammatory fluids and cells. An itchy rash is a common symptom of miliaria pustulosa. The reason for this is miliaria rubra and miliaria pustulosa involve an inflammatory response by the immune system, which causes the release of histamine and other substances that induce the prickly or itchy sensations.
