EtiopathogenesisThis section has been translated automatically.
The clinic of bulla repens, as pyoderma of the groin skin, is defined by the anatomical peculiarity of the groin skin. The purulent exudation of the dermis leads to a subepithelial pustule with a "thick" stratur corneum forming the cover. Since this does not burst in contrast to the thin field skin, the exudation can only migrate subepithelially. A large, bulging pus blister is formed. At the tip of the finger or toe there is a "circulating" blister which is in reality a pustule.
