We followed three children who met the clinical, histologic, and immunologic criteria for chronic bullous disease of childhood (linear IgA dermatosis). All patients were able to discontinue therapy after two months to two years. Two have continued to experience transient mild episodes of blistering that have not required reinstitution of systemic therapy. In our opinion, children with this condition have a benign course with disease‐free remissions and can be expected to discontinue all therapy eventually.
