Possible Diagnosis: Bullous Pemphigoid

Hello,
Thank You for trusting HealthcareMagic,
Bullous Pemphigoid is an autoimmune disorder, where body's own immunity attack the skin cells. It is characterized by blistering of the skin, that comes on and off.
Confirmation of diagnosis requires biopsy of blisters and immunohistopathologic evaluation.
Treatment is with long term (usually 6 months - 2 years) with immunosuppressant medications like corticosteroids.
Please be advised to follow up with a dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis and management.
