We experienced two cases of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor-associated bullous pemphigoid (BP) showing an unfavorable course despite its discontinuation. Clinicians should carefully monitor the course of DPP-4 inhibitor-associated BP even after withdrawal of DPP-4 inhibitor therapy, especially in very elderly patients.
