The prognosis for individuals with bullous pemphigoid varies depending on the severity of the condition and the response to treatment. Many individuals experience a chronic course with periods of flare-ups and remission. With appropriate treatment, most people can manage their symptoms and maintain a good quality of life. However, bullous pemphigoid can be more challenging to treat in older adults, who are often more susceptible to the side effects of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants. In severe cases, complications such as skin infections, dehydration, or the side effects of long-term medication use can occur. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor the condition and adjust treatment as needed.
