Br J Dermatol. 1993 Oct;129(4):443-6. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2133.1993.tb03173.x.

Abstract

We report a family suffering from dominant dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa, in whom linear lichenified lesions and troublesome pruritus were prominent features. We consider that this clinical picture may constitute a separate subtype of this disorder.
