The article presents a case report of a person suffering from epidermolysis bullosa acquisita. Since 1976, the patient has had periodic pretibial bullae following minor mechanical trauma. Tense bullae with surrounding erythema and erosive lesions were present on his chin, nostril, nipple, dorsum of two fingers and shins. Electron microscopy showed that there were abnormal deposits beneath the lamina densa zone. The erosions were dressed with gauze but repeated dressings impaired epithelialization.
