Abstract |
Bullous Diabeticorum is a skin condition that occurs rarely in diabetic patients. It is a specific type of skin lesions characterized by non-inflammatory blisters that heals spontaneously. It is usually found in long standing diabetic patients with poor glycemic control, although the relationship between BD and blood glucose level in diabetic patients remains unclear. It frequently goes undiagnosed because it resembles other vesicobullous illnesses. Few published articles reported such cases. This case report describes a rare case of Saudi female patient presented to the clinic with a well demarcated erythematic fluid-filled lesion. Based on medical history and clinical examination diagnosis of diabetic bullae was made. We present this case to shed light on the rare occurrence of Bullous Diabeticorum in diabetic patients, to highlight the role of interprofessional team in its management and to improve the patients’ outcome.
