Medical Care. The aim of treatment in pemphigus vulgaris is the same as in other autoimmune bullous diseases, which is to decrease blister formation, promote healing of blisters and erosions, and determine the minimal dose of medication necessary to control the disease process. Note the images below.
Symptoms and Signs. Flaccid bullae, which are the primary lesions of pemphigus vulgaris, cause widespread and painful skin and oral erosions. About half of patients have only oral erosions, which rupture and remain as chronic, painful lesions for variable periods. Often, oral lesions precede skin involvement.
