Bullous Diabeticorum: A Rare Cutaneous Manifestation in Diabetic Patients
Abstract
We hereby report an unusual case of Bulla involving the palmer aspects of fingers of a Diabetic patient with
poor glycemic control. The Bulla were fluid filed and developed spontaneously without any history of trauma,
friction or burn. Histopathology was typical of Bullous Diabeticorum without any inflammatory infiltrates.
Bulla were aspirated and patient was given oral antibiotics for prevention of secondary infection along with anti
Diabetic drugs to improve glycemic control.
