Pemphigus
Is a group of rare skin disorders that cause blisters and sores on the skin or mucous membranes, such as in the mouth or on the genitals.
Symptoms:
- Pemphigus vulgaris. This type usually begins with blisters in your mouth and then on your skin or genital mucous membranes. The blisters typically are painful, but don't itch. Blisters in your mouth or throat may make it hard to swallow and eat.
- Pemphigus foliaceus. This type doesn't usually affect mucous membranes. And the blisters tend not to be painful. This condition may affect any skin, but most blisters are on the chest, back and shoulders. The blisters cause the skin to be crusty and itchy.
