AB There  are  a  number  of  bullous  diseases  other  than  pemphigus  and  bullous  pemphigoid  that  are  important  to  recognize.  Porphyria  cutanea  tarda  is  a  porphyria  that  has  no  extracutaneous  manifestations  (Figures  186-1,  186-2,  and  186-3).  Dystrophic  epidermolysis  bullosa  belongs  to  a  family  of  inherited  diseases  where  blister  formation  can  be  caused  by  even  minor  skin  trauma.  PLEVA  (pityriasis  lichenoides  et  varioliformis  acuta)  is  a  minor  cutaneous  lymphoid  dyscrasia  that  can  appear  suddenly  and  persist  for  weeks  to  months.  Dermatitis  herpetiformis  is  a  recurrent  eruption  that  is  usually  associated  with  gluten  and  diet-related  enteropathies.
