DISEASES
description
Autoimmune mucocutaneous blistering diseases are a group of conditions where blisters appear on the skin or mucous membranes. The diagnosis is aided by a skin biopsy and the detection of antibodies that can help confirm the disease. Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is the most common autoimmune mucocutaneous blistering disease, and it predominantly affects the elderly. Mouth and throat involvement is rare.
Symptoms
- Blisters on skin
- Blisters on mucous membranes (mouth, nose, throat, eyes, and genitals)
