| Summary: | Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders characterized by the formation of blisters either spontaneously or at the sites of trauma. These heal with post-inflammatory hypopigmentation, scarring, or milia formation.

The significance of this particular case lies in the challenge of distinguishing between epidermolysis bullosa and bullous extragenital lichen sclerosus et atrophicus. |
