'Bulla spread sign' is seen in :
High-Yield Explanation
In the traditional "bulla spread" sign or Lutz sign, the margin of an intact bullae is first marked by a pen. Slow, careful and unidirectional pressure applied by a finger to the bulla causes peripheral extension of the bulla beyond the marked margin. The bulla thus extended has an irregular angulated border in pemphigus vulgaris, while a regular rounded border is observed in bullous pemphigoid or other subepidermal blistering disorders.
