“…The bullous diabetes condition has been reported to affect about 0.5 percent of diabetic patients in the United States. Male patients are twice as likely as female ones to develop cancer [1][2][3][4][5][6]. In 1930, Kramer described bullous-like lesions in diabetic patients; in 1963, Rocca and Pereyra classified this as a phlyctenar (looking like a burn-induced blister).…”

Acanthosis nigricans, acrochordrons, diabetic dermatopathy, necrobiosis lipoidica, and bullous diabeticorum are some of the cutaneous symptoms of diabetes. Bullous illness (bullosis diabeticorum) is a blistering, non-inflammatory condition of the acral skin. Diabetes bullous illness is more common in people who have had diabetes for a long time or who have many comorbidities. Although the actual cause is uncertain, it is likely to be multifactorial. Neuropathy, nephropathy, vasculopathy, and UV (ultraviolet) light are all suggested to have a role. BD is most likely caused by the various problems that come with poorly managed diabetes. The exact number of people who have BD is unknown. The majority of case studies in the literature were based on a small number of cases. Bullous diabeticorum is a restrictive diagnosis, which necessitates a histological study that includes direct immunofluorescence to rule out other vesicobullous illnesses. In terms of BD management, no strong consensus has formed. The blisters have historically been thought to be self-limiting, with bullae resolving in 2 to 6 weeks if left untreated. In some cases antibiotic may be used. In this article we’ll be looking at Bullosis Diabeticorum. Its etiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
