Bullous Diabeticorum: A Rare Blistering Manifestation of Diabetes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 65‐year‐old female presented with a 2‐year history of recurrent, asymptomatic, tense blisters on her feet. There was no history of any repeated trauma, exposure to chemicals, insect bite, or any constitutional symptoms. She previously had similar lesions on her arms, back, and buttocks, however, they healed spontaneously. She had a history of uncontrolled type 2 DM for the past 20 years, for which she had been taking oral hypoglycemic agents. There were no features to suggest neuropathy. Urine examination did not reveal any microalbuminuria. At presentation, her blood sugar level was within normal range.
