Abstract

Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a blistering dermatosis characterized by an autoimmune response to two hemidesmosomal proteins, BP180 and BP230. We describe a case of an 80-year-old man diagnosed with BP by clinical features, histopathology, and immunosorbent assay who developed milia within resolving BP lesions. Milia formation during recovery is common in cases of mucous membrane pemphigoid and epidermolysis bullosa acquisita but has rarely been reported in cases of BP.
