We present the case of a 36-year-old paraplegic woman with a history of spinal cord injury who developed a generalized blistering rash, later diagnosed as bullous pemphigoid (BP). During her hospitalization, she was treated with prednisone and rituximab infusions, transitioning to maintenance therapy with topical steroids, doxycycline, and nicotinamide. A year later, she presented with concerns about a BP flare on her feet.

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune blistering disease that is characterized by pruritus, cutaneous urticarial plaques, and tense bullae, with mucosal involvement. On histopathology, a subepidermal blister is predominantly evident with eosinophilic inflammatory infiltrates in the upper dermis. In a few bullous dermatoses, milia can manifest at the scar of blistering lesions or in non-lesional skin.

Article Synopsis
- - Milia en plaque (MEP) is a rare skin condition first described in 1903 and can be confused with other skin disorders such as Favre-Racouchot nodular elastosis and steatocystoma multiplex.
- - MEP can be primary (occurring on its own) or secondary (linked to other diseases) and is generally benign; it may develop after certain dermatological procedures, like cryotherapy.
- - A case study is presented where MEP indicated the first signs of folliculotropic mycosis fungoides (FMF), highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for improving patient outcomes, using treatments like oral retinoids and phototherapy.
