Abstract

Abstract Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune blistering disease primarily characterized by tense blisters and occasionally with urticarial plaques, affecting the skin and mucous membranes. These are caused by autoantibodies against BP180 and BP230 which target antigens on the basement membrane zone. The diagnosis relies on the integration of clinical, histopathological, immunopathological, and serological findings. The management depends on the clinical extent and severity. We present in this article a literature review and the clinical consensus guidelines of the Immunodermatology Subspecialty Core Group of the Philippine Dermatological Society in the management of BP.
