title: Bullous pemphigoid in a previously irradiated site.
abstract: A 58-year-old woman who had previously undergone radiation therapy for breast cancer sustained bullous pemphigoid confined mainly to the radiation site. Radiation-induced bullous pemphigoid is an infrequently reported occurrence. This patient's lesions resolved within several weeks with combined oral therapy using tetracycline and niacinamide.
