Seborrheic pemphigus (SP) represents a localized and superficial form of pemphigus foliaceus (PF) often mistaken for other dermatological conditions such as seborrheic dermatitis (SD) due to clinical similarities. Additionally, SP may be conceptually confused with pemphigus erythematosus (PE) due to historical terminology and overlapping clinical features. We present a case study of a 38-year-old female initially diagnosed with SD but later identified as SP through detailed clinical and histopathological analysis. We discuss the challenges in accurately diagnosing SP, emphasizing the importance of distinguishing it from PE and other acantholytic dermatoses. Furthermore, we highlight the effectiveness of topical treatment in managing SP, contrary to the systemic therapy often required for PE. Our findings underscore the necessity for further research to optimize management strategies for SP and emphasize the significance of precise terminology in clinical practice and research.
