Milia within resolving bullous pemphigoid lesions

Abstract

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering disease that is characterized by pruritus, cutaneous urticarial plaques, and tense bullae, with mucosal involvement. On histopathology, a subepidermal blister is predominantly evident with eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrates in the upper dermis. In a few bullous dermatoses, milia can manifest at the scar of blistering lesions or in non-lesional skin. Milia are classically associated with epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, porphyria cutanea tarda, and mucous membrane pemphigoid. We report a case of bullous pemphigoid with milia manifesting within healing blistering lesions.
