Symptoms
By Mayo Clinic staff
Signs and symptoms of bullous pemphigoid range from mild to severe. Some people might notice only a slight redness and irritation on their skin, while others may experience multiple blisters (bullae). The bullae typically develop on your arms, legs or trunk but can also occur in your mouth or other mucous membranes.
The blisters appear as firm, fluid-filled sacs. They may weep or appear crusty. In some cases, the blisters may form painful, open sores on the surface of your skin.
Bullous pemphigoid symptoms may include:
- Redness
- Irritation
- Multiple blisters
- Itching
- Hive-like lesions
- Rashes
- Mouth sores
- Bleeding gums
