What Is Bullous Pemphigoid?
9. What Is the Outlook for Bullous Pemphigoid?
Most people who develop bullous pemphigoid do not live with it forever. The disease may have periods of exacerbations and spontaneous remissions. With proper treatment, that can last up to 60 months, many individuals can regain full health and go on without signs and symptoms within a few months or years.
That said, sometimes the immune system continues to attack the skin tissue once a person stops taking medication. If this is the case for you, work with your doctor to develop a treatment plan that consists of options that are safe for you long-term.
