IntroductionStriae Distensae (SD), a well-recognized phenomenon resulting from dermal scaring, it is usually associated with physiological conditions such as pregnancy, growth spurt, rapid weight loss or gain or iatrogenic causes such as topical or systemic corticosteroid administration1. It is aesthetically troublesome and therapeutically challenging. SD early stages appear as flesh-toned atrophic linear plaques that eventually progress to silvery-whitish atrophic plaques.1,2 Most commonly affect dispensable body areas such as the buttock, lower back, thighs, calves, breast and abdomen.3 Rare secondary changes within SD have been mentioned in the literature, including edema, urticaria, dyspigmentation, ulceration, dehiscence and subcutaneous emphysema. Fluid filling these striae are an unusual finding. Very few cases have been reported discussing this phenomenon.4,5 Upon literature review, it was notable that even in the very few case reports of BSD, almost all the patients were on long-term oral steroids as well as having hypoalbuminemia, except for one patient as demonstrated inTable 1 .4 Herein, we report a case of a 17-year-old girl with nephrotic syndrome who was treated with high dose of corticosteroids presented to the day-care unit with Bullous Striae Distensae.
