How long does it take BP to heal?

Hi @LifeDelineator

How are you doing today?

Let me see if there are other members who can share their experiences with lesions caused by bullous pemphigoid.

How can you tell when you are in remission? Is it correlated with your lesions, remain filled vs dry up? Is there anything you do to trigger remission? What are your general experiences?

Let's share!

Take care,

Hi Just to clarify, in case there’s a difference, my mother had a pemphigoidal reaction to medication and to some wound dressings, and had the blisters that became lesions. (I was told it wasn’t the same as having bullous pemphigoid as a condition but I still wonder if it might always be caused by a reaction to something, and I think sufferers should automatically get asked about medications they may be on that could be causing it). The wet lesions heal too, just more slowly. Don’t know if that’s helpful. If there are dressings on the lesions you could check if they’re inhibiting the healing.
