Abstract

Pretibial epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a rare type of dystrophic EB characterized by itching, blisters, atrophy, and scarring localized to the shins. The term pretibial is used because of the localization of lesions to the shins. It has been rarely reported in the literature. There is no specific treatment for any form of EB, and the mainstay of clinical management is based on protection and avoidance of provoking factors. We report a case of pretibial EB in a 15-year-old ethnic Kashmiri girl who presented with a history of blisters over legs of 3 years duration.
