ABSTRACT Bullous pemphigoid is rarely seen in adolescence, and its presentation, clinical course, and treatment can differ to that found in other age groups. We present a case of bullous pemphigoid in a 16‐year‐old with features of koebnerisation and oral mucosal involvement and provide a brief review of paediatric bullous pemphigoid.
