Abstract:
Vesiculobullous Darier's disease is a rare variant of Darier's disease which is characterized by vesicles and bullae, usually distributed on the sun-exposed areas of the body. Blistering may be percipitated by factors such as high humidity, ultraviolet radiation, etretinate treatment, surgery or physical stress. Widespread vesiculation or bullous lesions are unusual in the absence of cutaneous bacterial or viral infections. Herein, we report an unusual case of vesiculobullous Darier's disease which developed on the scalp in a 25-year-old man.
