GlossaryPemphigus Foliaceus

autoimmune disorder causing superficial skin blisters and erosions

Pemphigus Foliaceus is an autoimmune skin disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks proteins in the outer layer of the skin, leading to blistering and erosions. This condition primarily affects the skin and mucous membranes, causing superficial blisters that can rupture easily, resulting in crusty sores.
