Abstract

Chronic Bullous Disease of Childhood (CBDC) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by blistering and linear deposition of IgA on the basement membrane. A frequent complication is a secondary infection of the ruptured bullous which can cause a larger wound. A case of CBDC case with hypertrophic scar complication in a 3-year-old child is reported. The diagnosis is made based on clinical, laboratory and histopathological examination. Patients responded well to dapsone treatment within 1 week of treatment, although the prognosis is poor since hypertrophic scar occurred and caused a contracture in her left knee.
