Bullous dermatoses in childhood: part II

Abstract

Bullous dermatoses are commonly encountered in childhood practice. Much confusion exists among clinicians because of the similarity of clinical lesions, paucity of relevant literature, and varied nomenclature used for these diseases. For a better understanding of the proposed classification, this second part is a review of diseases with nonhereditary characteristics of subepidermal cleavage and hereditary characteristics with intraepidermal and subepidermal cleavage.
