Blistering disorders

Blistering disorders are conditions where the skin develops blisters—fluid-filled bubbles—that can be painful and affect skin integrity. These disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly targets the skin's layers, causing separation and blister formation. They can be localized or widespread and may be associated with underlying autoimmune diseases, infections, or genetic factors. Treatment typically involves controlling inflammation and immune activity, often with medications like corticosteroids. Early diagnosis and management are important to prevent complications and preserve skin health.
