A skin condition similar to pemphigus.
Pemphigoid is an infrequent, persistent skin ailment that primarily targets older individuals, leading to the development of sizable, occasionally pruritic blisters on the skin. This condition is believed to stem from an autoimmune disorder, where the body’s immune system reacts against its own tissues.
Diagnosis is established through a skin biopsy. Typically, the condition is managed with an extended regimen of corticosteroid or immunosuppressant medications.
