- Abstract
Bullous Wells syndrome is a rare inflammatory dermatosis. Typically it presents as an erythematous plaque with bullae. Morphologically, it can be confused with bullous cellulitis, arthropod bite, contact dermatitis and bullous pemphigoid. Histopathology is mandatory to diagnose the disease. Bullous Wells syndrome can be associated with sinister systemic conditions such as Churg Strauss syndrome, ulcerative colitis and lymphoma. Treatment can be topical or systemic steroid. We report an interesting case of idiopathic bullous Wells syndrome in a 30-year-old woman who responded well to oral steroid.
