Not to be used for advertising or in a defamatory context Bullous pemphigoid blisters on a Hispanic male patient's arm. Bullous pemphigoid is an acute or chronic autoimmune skin disease, involving the formation of blisters, known as bullae, at the space between the epidermis and dermis skin layers. It is classified as a type II hypersensitivity reaction. Clinically, the earliest lesions may appear urticarial (like hives). Tense bullae eventually erupt, most commonly at the inner thighs and upper arms, but the trunk and extremities are frequently both involved. Any part of the skin surface can be involved. This case is thought to be a side effect from taking the type 2 diabetes drug linagliptin. However, the disease is persisting even though the patient has stopped taking the drug.
