Pemphigus

Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune skin disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, leading to painful blisters and sores on the skin and inside the mouth. The exact cause of pemphigus is often unknown, though certain medicines and underlying health conditions have been linked to its development. Common pemphigus symptoms include soft, fragile blisters, painful mouth sores, and raw or peeling skin that can spread with minimal friction. While there is no permanent cure, proper skin care and lifestyle habits can help manage flare-ups — avoiding tight or rough clothing, using a soft toothbrush and mild mouthwash for oral sores, and eating soft, non-spicy foods when the mouth is affected.

Regular follow-ups with a dermatologist are essential for long-term pemphigus treatment and monitoring. If you notice unexplained blisters or sores that don't heal, especially ones that spread quickly, consult a skin specialist promptly for accurate diagnosis and timely pemphigus treatment.
