How To Treat Bullous Pemphigoid

Wear Loose Clothing

Individuals who have bullous pemphigoid are often advised to wear loose clothing when they have blister flare-ups around the body. The best way patients can promote the healing of these breakouts is by performing proper blister care, and by protecting the area from further damage. Wearing tight clothing over breakout areas can cut off the air supply to the affected blisters. It can also result in the repeated rubbing of clothing or friction on the skin of the blisters, which can cause them to rupture and ulcerate. Once the blisters have ruptured, they are open wounds and are exposed to invasion by outside bacteria. Friction from clothing on ruptured blisters will cause the wound to re-open or open up more substantially. Added damage to the existing blisters and lesions can cause them to heal up with more scar tissue than they would have otherwise. Scar tissue is different than healthy skin tissue, and it will be able to be seen in the form of a scar on the patient's skin. This type of scarring on the skin may fade over time, but it never entirely dissipates.
