Linear immunoglobulin A bullous dermatosis (LABD) is an autoimmune blistering disease that most commonly presents in preschool‐aged children. There have been few neonatal reports, all of which had life‐threatening aerodigestive complications requiring mechanical intervention and systemic therapy. We present a case of LABD in a neonate who had an uncomplicated course and was treated conservatively with only low‐potency topical corticosteroids and wound care before resolution of his skin lesions.
