Coexistence of psoriasis and bullous pemphigoid: remission with low-dose methotrexate

Abstract

The coexistence of psoriasis vulgaris and bullous pemphigoid is rare. Here, we report a 90-year-old patient with a 20-year history of psoriasis. She developed vesicles and bullae suddenly and was diagnosed as bullous pemphigoid. Low-dose methotrexate therapy quickly cleared both psoriatic and bullous lesions.
