Linear IgA dermatosis (LAD) is a rare autoimmune disorder in children. A 9‐year‐old boy was presented with blisters on the intact skin (face, body, arms, hands, soles, perigenital and perianal area) after amoxicillin treatment. Systemic corticosteroids and dapsone treatment for 6 weeks was successful. Clinical and immunofluorescence examinations are most important for differentiation of LAD and other drug‐induced bullous dermatoses. They enable an early introduction of proper therapy.
