Abstract

Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune skin blistering disorder that can present with several different degrees of severity. The treatment modality employed by the treating physician varies from localised topical therapy and anti-inflammatory treatments with minimal side effects to immunosuppressive agents associated with significant adverse reactions. Deciding which therapy to use with a particular patient can be a challenge, and the treating physician must take into account the severity of disease, the overall medical condition of the patient and potential drug interactions. This article provides a comprehensive review of current medical therapies, as well as an overall approach to the patient with bullous pemphigoid.
