Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune blistering disorder that typically affects elderly patients. Rarely, it can occur in childhood. Vesicular pemphigoid is an atypical variant of BP. We report a case of childhood vesicular pemphigoid in an infant aged 6 months that was initially misdiagnosed as severe atopic dermatitis (AD). To the best of our knowledge, only one other case of childhood vesicular pemphigoid has been reported in the literature.
