Abstract

Kindler’s syndrome (KS) is a rare inherited skin disease characterized by acral blistering, photosensitivity, cutaneous atrophy, and progressive poikiloderma along with different types of mucosal involvement. We hereby report KS in a north eastern female patient. The case is being reported for its rarity and for emphasizing the importance of considering this condition in the differential diagnosis of disorders that may cause blistering, cutaneous atrophy, and/or poikilodermatous skin changes. Besides, being a cause of acquired adermatoglyphia, it could lead to identification problems in the individuals by biometric technology, as was the scenario with our patient who faced difficulty in enrolling for Adhaar ID proof, making the case even more interesting.
