Metformin induced bullous pemphigoid, the first case

Bullous pemphigoid is a polymorphic autoimmune subepidermal blistering disease seen in elderly individuals. Exact etiology of this autoimmune process is not known. Induced bullous pemphigoid has been associated with several drugs but metformin is not one of them. Here I have reported one such rare case of metformin induced Bullous Pemphigoid (BP).
