Abstract
A 17-year-old female, presented with mild pruritus, blistering and milia (Figs. 80.1 and 80.2), started to develop at the age of 7 years. The frequency of blistering persisted through childhood, but diminished gradually with age. Blisters were related to trauma and mostly located on lower extremities. She also had white and flesh-colored papules on the lumbosacral area (Fig. 80.3), her toenails were dystrophic (Fig. 80.4), and she had no oral lesions. Her brother was similarly affected.
