1-Dermatitis herpetiformis

2-Linear IGA Linear dermatosis

3-bullous systemic lupus erythematous

4- bullous pemphigoid (rare)

5- bullous drug reaction

Linear IgA dermatosis / CBDC. Having said this I think it’s important you describe the lessions, all sites affected, whether or not mucous membranes are affected. It would help come close to the clinical diagnosis before a biopsy and immunofloresce is done.
