Blistering Distal Dactylitis in an Adult

Abstract

Blistering distal dactylitis may rarely present in adults (including those who are not immunocompromised or reporting trauma) and thus should be in the differential diagnosis for an adult presenting with bullae at the fingertips. The differential diagnosis for this presentation also includes herpetic whitlow, epidermolysis bullosa, bullous impetigo, and friction blisters.
