Abstract

[The goals of management in autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBDs) are to stop disease progression, alleviate symptoms and minimise adverse effects related to treatment. Although systemic corticosteroids are widely used and effective in many AIBD, serious side effects often limit their use. Consequently, topical corticosteroids have been trialled to determine whether they are effective and safe in treating AIBD. This article will discuss the role of topical corticosteroids in a variety of AIBD and practical considerations for their use.]
