    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Clinical Medicine

    Background:

    • Bullous disorders represent a group of skin diseases characterized by blister formation.
    • Understanding the prevalence and clinical presentation of these conditions is crucial for effective patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To retrospectively analyze the clinical features and prevalence of various bullous disorders.
    • To identify the most common bullous dermatoses in a specific geographic region.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective clinical analysis of 66 patients diagnosed with bullous disorders.
    • Data collected over a 5-year period in Benghazi, Libya.
    • Review of clinical presentation, treatment, and follow-up data.

    Main Results:

    • Pemphigus vulgaris was identified as the most frequent bullous disorder.
    • Bullous pemphigoid was the second most common condition observed.
    • Other bullous dermatoses were found to be rare in this patient cohort.

    Conclusions:

    • Pemphigus vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid are the predominant bullous disorders in the studied population.
