Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus ( BSLE ) is a rare autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease with a female predominance characterized as an acute vesicobullous eruption in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE ). Here we report a case of BSLE in a 16‐year‐old boy that does not adhere to the criteria originally established and suggest a new outlook on this condition.
