10. Can Bullous Pemphigoid Result in Complications?
Though rare, bullous pemphigoid can result in complications. This is especially true in cases in which a person does not seek treatment or refuses to take medication. In cases in which the disease is widespread or resistant to medication, it can be particularly dangerous.
The most common complications of bullous pemphigoid include infections with sepsis and adverse effects of treatment. Pemphigoid may also aggravate associated or underlying diseases. Unfortunately, bullous pemphigoid can be fatal in a minority of patients.
