Bullous Pemphigoid
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Bullous pemphigoid is an autoimmune skin disease in which the defense system mistakenly attacks a layer of the skin, producing blisters. It is more frequent in older people.
Common symptoms: tense, fluid-filled blisters on reddened or normal-appearing skin, intense itching and, at times, lesions in the body's folds.
When to see a doctor? The appearance of extensive or recurring blisters requires evaluation to identify their cause.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist is the specialist who studies and follows up on bullous pemphigoid. If you notice persistent blisters accompanied by itching, having this professional examine them helps guide the diagnosis in a timely manner.
