    autoimmune disorder causing large, itchy skin blisters

    Bullous Pemphigoid is an autoimmune skin disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the thin layer of tissue below the outer layer of skin, leading to large, fluid-filled blisters. These blisters are often itchy and can appear on various parts of the body, including the abdomen, arms, and legs.
