Pemphigus Vulgaris

Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare disease in which the body's own defense system mistakenly attacks components of the skin and mucous membranes, causing the appearance of blisters that break easily.

Common symptoms: painful blisters and sores in the mouth and on the skin, which can make eating or speaking difficult and that leave raw areas when they break.

When to seek care? In the presence of sores in the mouth or blisters on the skin that do not heal, spread, or reappear, an early evaluation is important.

Which specialist treats it? Dermatology studies and follows up on pemphigus vulgaris, with initial support from general medicine. Because it is a complex condition, it is advisable to place yourself in the hands of a professional who can confirm the condition and follow its course.
