Lifestyle and home remedies

If you have bullous pemphigoid, you can help take care of your condition with the following self-care strategies:

• Wound care. Follow your doctor's advice for daily care of blisters.
• Limit activities if needed. Blisters on the feet and hands can make it difficult to walk or to go about daily activities. You may need to change your routine until the blisters are under control.
• Avoid sun exposure. Avoid prolonged sun exposure on any area of the skin affected by bullous pemphigoid.
• Dress in loosefitting cotton clothes. This helps protect your skin.
• Watch what you eat. If you have blisters in your mouth, avoid eating hard and crunchy foods, such as chips and raw fruits and vegetables, because these types of foods might aggravate symptoms.
