Materials and Methods: Case study and literature review in the Hospital of Skin and Venereal diseases named after V.A. Rakhmanov; We assessed a case of pemphigoid in a pregnant woman which was complicated by the appearance of Cushing syndrome due to the administration of steroids. A follow-up was performed. Results: Generally, steroid complications arise as a result of increasing steroid dose, but on the other hand treating a condition like bullous pemphigoid without using steroids can cause relapse or have poor prognosis. Conclusions: Bullous pemphigoid in pregnancy requires careful attention. In addition, considering the complications due to steroid treatment is vital to aid in the prognosis.
