Epidermolysis bullosa pruriginosa, a genetic mechanobullous disease, manifests at birth or late in life and is characterised by intense pruritus, resulting in lichenified or nodular prurigo‐like lesions and scarring most prominent on the shins. Treatment is unsatisfactory. We report a patient treated with success using a combination of topical and systemic agents.
