Abstract:
In rare instances, some injuring physical factors such as thermal burns can be at the origin of bullous pemphigoid lesions. The early lesions are most often restricted to the injured skin area. Secondary generalization is the natural evolution to be expected. However, once the episode is resolved, recurrence is exceptional. When the natural history of bullous pemphigoid differs from the regular type, the peculiar condition of development of these lesions does not change any of the diagnostic clinical and histological criteria, as well as the therapeutic procedures to follow.
