Autoimmune bullous diseases in minors are scarce but should be taken into consideration in patients with pruritus and/or blisters and erosions on the skin and/or mucous membranes. Treatment is challenging, and due to the rarity of AIBD in minors, the management of these disorders in this patient population is best performed in specialized centres in a multidisciplinary approach, including paediatric dermatologists or dermatologists and paediatricians.
