Abstract: Introduction: Pemphigoid nodularis is identified as a rare clinical variant of bullous pemphigoid (BP), often requiring detailed diagnostic methods due to its atypical presentations, with the concurrent occurrence of psoriasis being rare. Case Presentation: We report the use of tofacitinib in a 66-year-old female with pemphigoid nodularis combined with psoriasis with significant results.
