Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a disorder that rarely occurs in children. We hereby describe three cases of childhood BP aged 2-4 months, which are among the youngest reported in the literature. BP was confirmed by histopathology, direct and indirect immunofluorescence with salt-split skin test and immunoblotting. These patients were successfully treated with systemic corticosteroids with a complete clinical remission.
