Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this diagnosis of bullous pemphigoid. This is largely an autoimmune disease and steroids/prednisone are the main management strategy. There are no diet limitation required for the proper treatment of this condition. I will also like to review your list of medications to make sure there is no drug that is probably contributing to the onset of this disease condition. For this, please list all the medications you are on for me to review.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Hope to read more from you and feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.
