AB A  100-year-old  black  woman  with  diabetes  was  brought  to  the  office  by  her  family  concerned  about  the  large  blister  on  her  leg  that  started  earlier  that  day  (Figure  191-1).  This  large  bulla  appeared  spontaneously  without  trauma,  and  there  was  no  surrounding  erythema.  The  bulla  contained  clear  fluid,  and  there  were  no  signs  of  infection.  The  bulla  was  drained  with  a  sterile  needle  and  no  further  bullae  developed.  The  diagnosis  is  bullosis  diabeticorum,  a  benign  self-limited  condition.
