The rash is initially a needle-sized, red follicular papule, which gradually turns into miliary-sized pustules with hair running through the center and an inflammatory red halo around them. Most pustules appear in batches and do not merge with each other. After the pustule bursts, a small amount of pus and blood is discharged and a yellow scab is formed. The disease will heal once the scab falls off without leaving any scars. Severe cases can cause permanent hair loss.
