Pustular miliaria – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1116239404

Pustular miliaria (miliaria pustulosa) develops from miliaria rubra with the appearance of multiple small pustules on the skin. Although it has been postulated that extracellular polysaccharide produced by Staphylococcus epidermidis may be important in the pathogenesis of miliaria rubra, pustular miliaria is usually sterile, though may be associated with secondary Staphylococcus aureus infection.
