Background: Infantile bullous pemphigoid (IBP) is an exceptionally rare acquired autoimmune subepidermal bullous disorder characterized by vesicles, bullae, and additional manifestations, such as urticarial and infiltrated papules, plaques, or eczematous lesions. These skin lesions can lead to eroded and crusted regions after healing, and in some cases, rapid blister rupturing causes extensively eroded areas. Reporting these rare cases is crucial to improving our understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of IBP.
