Abstract: The treatment of 42 cases of bullous pemphigoid was summerized. The drug of choice is corticosteroid, mainly prednisone. The initial dosage should be large enough to control the lesions promptly. The recommended initial dosage is 30mg/day for mild cases, 40-50mg/day for moderate cases and 60-80mg/day for severe cases. The reduction of dosage could be attempted after 7-10 days when the lesions were satisfactorily controlled. Rapid with drawal will lead to recurrence of the disease.
