There are also cases of nail deformity and hair loss, and the systemic symptoms, if any, are mild.  Histopathology: blister formation in the epidermis, blister fluid containing polymorphonuclear leukocytes, lymphocytes, cellular debris and fibrin, with reticular degeneration of epidermal cells and necrosis of the epidermis and adjacent dermis below.  The diagnosis should exclude the following diseases: polymorphic heliotrope, discoid lupus erythematosus, erythropoietic protoporphyria and erythropoietic porphyria, and often requires a thorough history and porphyrin measurements.
