BP: bullous pemphigoid MMS: Mohs micrographic surgery B ullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune vesiculobullous disease affecting the elderly population. Many triggers for BP have been identified, including medications, vaccines, infections, surgery, and radiation. Rare cases of BP induced by orthopedic, podiatric, and general surgery procedures have been reported. We present a case of BP presenting weeks after Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) within the procedure scar before generalizing. The patient respondedwell to therapy and flares were prevented during subsequent MMS with pulse corticosteroids.
