AB The  diagnosis  of  vesicular  and  bullous  diseases  in  childhood  can  be  a  difficult  task.  To  better  understand  the  defining  characteristics  of  vesiculobullous  disorders,  a  general  knowledge  of  skin  anatomy  is  helpful.  Figure  59-1  illustrates  normal  skin  histology.  The  numerous  causes  of  blistering  can  be  divided  into  those  with  neonatal  versus  childhood  onsets.  Additionally,  secondary  characteristics,  such  as  distribution  and  morphology,  can  further  limit  the  differential  diagnosis.
