Abstract
Henoch–Schonlein purpura (HSP) is the most common form of vasculitis affecting children. The cutaneous manifestations classically present as urticarial wheals, erythematous maculopapules, petechiae, purpura or oedema, which characteristically involve the lower extremities and buttocks. Haemorrhagic bullous lesions are a recognized but rare occurrence with HSP in children. We report a 6-year-old boy with HSP who developed extensive haemorrhagic bullae requiring dermatological referral and treatment. Scrutiny of our management and available literature reveals a lack of consensus in the management of extensive cutaneous involvement in HSP.
