| Abstract | Two men with nonscarring, persistent, localized bullous pemphigoid, whose eruption is completely controlled with daily doses of oral tetracycline, are described. A review of the literature on persistent, localized bullous pemphigoid is presented. The effects of tetracycline on leukocytes that may play a role in the response of these patients are discussed. |
