The management of pemphigus and pemphigoid is briefly reviewed. Consideration is given to the use of three intravenous daily ‘bolus’ injections of high‐dose methyiprednisolone for the treatment of pemphigus, and to long acting tetraeosactrin (Synacthen Depot) injections with concurrent azathioprine for rapid control of bullous pemphigoid in the elderly. The great value of topical and intralesional steroid therapy used in conjunction with an anti‐staphylococcal systemic antibiotic is stressed.
