Autoimmune Bullous Diseases

Autoimmune bullous diseases are a group of skin disorders where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own skin cells, leading to the formation of blisters. These blisters can appear on the skin or mucous membranes, causing pain and discomfort. Common types include pemphigus and pemphigoid. The exact cause is often unclear, but genetic factors and environmental triggers may play a role. Treatment typically involves medications to suppress the immune response, helping to reduce blister formation and manage symptoms, allowing for improved quality of life.
