Bullous pemphigoid is characterized by subepidermal nonancantholytic blisters. The main finding here is that the epidermis has been separated from the basement membrane it is usually attached to. This forms a bulla between the epidermis and the basement membrane. This bulla is filled with low-protein fluid and eosinophils.
