BP: bullous pemphigoid DP: dyshidrosiform pemphigoid INTRODUCTION Dyshidrosiform bullous pemphigoid (DP) is an unusual localized variant of bullous pemphigoid (BP), first described by Levine et al in 1979. It presents with a persistent and recurrent vesicobullous eruption, sometimes hemorrhagic, localized to the soles and/or palms. Since the clinical manifestations of DP are similar to those of pompholyx or bullous tinea pedis, which are more common and benign dermatologic diseases, a proper diagnosis could be delayed. We report the case of an 82-yearold man affected by DP who was treated for months for pompholyx and bullous tinea pedis with dermatophytid reaction.
