Genital bullous pemphigoid (BP), a localized subset of bullous pemphigoid, has been identified in children and women in the past. However, we report an adult male presenting with blisters confined to glans and shaft of penis, mimicking herpes genitalis, failing antiviral therapy. The patient responded to treatment with dapsone.
