[Local treatments for bullous pemphigoid].

Bullous pemphigoid affects people who are usually very frail, because they are very old and frequently have neurological co-morbidities. Over the past twenty years, therapeutic management has improved thanks to the application of highly potent corticosteroid-based creams, following a well-established regimen, for several months. Well-conducted nursing care is therefore essential not only to cover wounds, but also to treat the disease. Dedicated nursing time is also an opportunity to provide support to patients, who are often very uncomfortable.
