In the dermatologic state, there were grouped of vesicles, bullae, hyperpigmented plaque, hyperpigmentation macule, erosion, excocriation of both upper and lower arms, body, back, both buttocks and both legs. The results of histopathological examination concluded the formation of dermatitis herpetiformis with the discovery of subepidermal multilocular bullae containing PMN leukocytes and PMN leukocyte cells (Papillary microabses) in the papillae dermis.
