I see an intraepidermal neutrophil rich vesicle. The last three images show neutrophilic spongiosis. IgA pemphigus?

This is a bullae with reepitelization rich in eosinophils and neutrophils. Considering the clinical pictures of urticarial eruption I think this case is Bullous pempigoid rich in neutrophils.

Neutrophil rich BP (re-epithelialized subepidermal blister). Still DIF is mandatory.

Neutrophil-predominant subepidermal blister in re-epitheliazation. Giving the age of the patient and the lack of neutrophilic collections at neighbouring dermal papillae, I go with bullous pemphigoid until immunofluorescence prove otherwise.

Agree with Vesicular Bullous pemphigoid with re-epithelisation

Well I have every symphathy with all of the above but IMF studies showed features of pemphigus vulgaris. I put this case in as a curiously neutrophil rich and spongiotic stage of the disease. I don't think this is re-epithelialisation as it looks a very acute blister. Although textbooks emphasise eosinophils in PV I have found dissappointingly few in more than a few cases over the years. Bottom line IMF often gussumps histopathology in blistering conditions.
Enjoy your weekends.
