Bullous pemphigoid [BP] is an autoimmune disorder characterized by the formation of autoantibodies causing blister formation potentially triggered by trauma, antimicrobials and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. A 31yearold female patient reported with complaint of fluid filled blisters which appear intermittently for past 2 years, leaving painful ulcerations. Incisional biopsy was performed, along with adjunctive use of Low Level Laser Therapy, report of which showed bullous pemphigoid and better healing due to LLLT respectively. Thus, based on our clinical experience and result the use of laser as an adjunctive therapy in symptomatic management of desquamative lesions is indeed a food for thought.
