Description

Dr. Keith Roach is a physician at Weill Cornell Medical College and New York Presbyterian Hospital. He writes an educational column on infectious diseases, public health and sports medicine.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 73-year-old woman who is in otherwise good health, but I was diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid, a rare autoimmune disease, in January 2022. I have been treated by three different dermatologists with doxycycline, prednisone and Dupixent. The only effective treatment has turned out to be prednisone.
