Bullous Disorders

Bullous disorders are a group of skin conditions characterized by the formation of blisters or large fluid-filled sacs called bullae. These disorders occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks parts of the skin or mucous membranes, leading to weakened skin layers that separate and form blisters. Examples include pemphigus and pemphigoid. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, often involving fragility, discomfort, or open sores. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and maintain skin health, often involving medications that control the immune response.
