Milia complicating bullous polymorphic light eruption.
Polymorphic light eruption (PLE) is the most common photosensitivity disorder. Typically, PLE manifests in the spring or summer months as a recurrent pruritic papular and/or vesicular eruption occurring on photoexposed skin areas following sun exposure. The milia are caused by proliferative tendencies of the epithelium after injury. These may occur in areas of subepidermal bullous eruption. We report an original case of bullous PLE complicated by milia. Such association has not been reported previously.
