Summary Solar elastosis (SE) is a well‐recognized manifestation of chronic sun exposure, mainly affecting white patients. Well‐established clinical manifestations of SE include Favre–Racouchot syndrome, cutis rhomboidalis nuchae, actinic comedonal plaques, elastomas, elastotic nodules of the ears, elastotic bands, collagenous plaques of the hands and colloid millia. Bullous SE is a very unusual presentation of SE, which consists clinically of tense bullae on chronically sun‐damaged skin and is characterized histopathologically by a dermal cleft within a dermis with severe SE. Bullous SE is a rare but characteristic clinical expression of SE.
