Abstract Introduction
Chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD) is an immuno-logically mediated photodermatosis characterized by pruritic eczematous lesions in light-exposed areas. Chronic and disabling photodermatosis is more fre-quent in men. The most common action spectrum for CAD is ultraviolet B (UVB) combined with ultraviolet A (UVA)[1]; UVB or UVA alone may also induce CAD. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune skin disease characterized by subepidermal blister for-mation, typically characterized by the formation of bullae and widespread vesicles together with urticarial plaques and eczematous lesions, and predominantly affects patients of advanced age[2]. The co-occurrence of BP with CAD has never been reported in English literature, herein we describe a case of coexistence of CAD with BP.
