Question about very rare skin disease?

rare disease
Eric J

If anyone is in the dermatology field, I am looking for information about the disease called bullous pemphigoid. Last week, my grandfather had joint replacement surgery on his knee. One day after the operation he began developing large, draining blisters on his leg around the incision site. The blisters have multiplied and look bad, but there is no skin infection. The doctors are now questioning whether it could be pemphigoid. Is it usual for that disease to occur in only one spot on the body (left shin only)? I know it is an autoimmune disease, but is it possible the surgery could have somehow triggered the eruption? He is doing ok on antibiotics, but no one seems to have an answer for what caused the bullae.
