Pemphigus foliaceus

Pemphigus foliaceus is an autoimmune skin disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, causing shallow blisters and crusted sores mainly on the scalp, face, and chest. It results from the loss of adhesion between skin cells, leading to superficial blisters that can rupture easily. The condition is chronic but can be managed effectively with medications that suppress the immune response. Accurate diagnosis and treatment are important to control symptoms and prevent complications.
