We present a case of bullosis diabeticorum. It is a rare disorder, probably underdiagnosed, associated with long-term diabetes mellitus. Its etiology remains unclear. It is characterized by tense blisters, with serous content, recurrent and spontaneous on normal skin especially in the acral regions. Displays self-limiting course. No specific laboratory tests for diagnosis of this bullous disease exist. Clinical and conservative management to prevent secondary infection reduces morbidity in diabetic patients.

Bullosis diabeticorum is a rare complication of long-standing diabetes mellitus. Bullous lesions, which appear like burn-induced blisters, occur suddenly without trauma in the feet. These bullae heal spontaneously without scarring; however, recurrence is common. The etiology of bullosis diabeticorum remains unknown. Several theories exist as to causal and contributory factors related to this cutaneous manifestation of diabetes mellitus.
