APS (Autoimmune Bullous Skin Disorder)

Autoimmune Bullous Skin Disorders, such as Pemphigus and Pemphigoid, are conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the skin’s protective layers. This causes blistering, sores, and skin loss. The immune system produces antibodies that target proteins holding skin layers together, leading to fragile skin that easily blisters or peels. These disorders can affect various parts of the skin and mucous membranes, often requiring medical treatment to reduce immune activity and promote healing. Although chronic, with proper care, many patients can manage symptoms effectively and maintain good quality of life.
