Subepidermal cleft with eosinophils. Cell-rich bullous pemphigoid is the first possibility. Gliptin-induced pemphigoid is a newly emerging disorder in diabetics, which is a second possibility.

sub epidermal bulla with eosinophils. could be drug induced BP or BP immune mediated. What is the blue color, is it mucin staining. if there is mucin in a bulla in the knuckle must we exclude dermatomyositis ?

Cell-poor blister, basal lamina duplication, copious amounts of mucin..make me think of Dermatomyositis.
