Abstract

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is an autoimmune subepidermal blistering condition that predominantly affects older patients and characterized by local or generalized tense blister formation. Mucosal involvement with small blisters or erosions may exist in a minority of patients. BP is generally self-limiting with remission in most patients by 5 years. We report an 83-year-old hemiplegic lady with unusual distribution of bullous pemphigoid lesions.
