| Abstrakt: | Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a common autoimmune blistering disorder primarily affecting the elderly, characterized by intense pruritus and tense bullae on the skin. We report the case of a 75-year-old female with a history of breast cancer who developed BP on both feet following the initiation of pregabalin for pain management. Histopathological examination confirmed BP, and symptoms improved with topical corticosteroid treatment and discontinuation of pregabalin. This case highlights the potential of pregabalin to induce BP and underscores the importance of recognizing medication-induced bullous diseases for prompt diagnosis and management.
