Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita is a rare and debilitating autoimmune mucocutaneous blistering disease caused by autoantibodies directed against type VII collagen or anchoring fibrils in the subepidermal basement membrane zone. Treatment is quite challenging because this disease can be recalcitrant to multiple modalities. This article discusses the current management of this disease.
