Bullous pemphigoid blisters on the hand of a 94 year old woman. This autoimmune skin disease occurs when the immune system attacks the proteins holding skin cells together at the junction between the epidermis and dermis. This results in painful, itchy blisters. Treatment involves corticosteroids or immunosuppressants. | |
