What Is Bullous Pemphigoid?

Bullous Pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune skin condition that causes large, fluid-filled blisters on the skin. It primarily affects older adults and occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the layer between the skin and underlying tissue. Commonly seen on the abdomen, thighs, and arms, this condition causes itching, discomfort, and potential infection if untreated. Left unmanaged, Bullous Pemphigoid can significantly impact quality of life, making prompt diagnosis and care essential.
