Infected Edematous Striae Distensae
2021
Introduction: The use of steroids and the accumulation of fluid within the body have been contributed the worrying
presentation of bullous striae distensae which is managed conservatively, and medical interference has not been
reported.
Case: 13-year-old presented with generalised edema to the ER with abdominal and upper thigh lesions which are
diagnosed as bullous striae distensae and it was very tender and erythematous. The patient clinically improved after
treating her with antibiotics.
Result: Bullous striae distensae can be infected and conservative management is not always the appropriate choice.
Conclusion: Consider examining the bullous stria for any perforation or tenderness to prevent and manage
suspected infection.
