Vesiculo-Bullous Disease Treatment

What are Vesiculo-Bullous Diseases?

Vesiculo-Bullous Diseases are a group of skin disorders characterized by the formation of blisters (vesicles and bullae) due to an autoimmune or inflammatory process that affects the skin’s layers. These blisters may appear on the skin or mucous membranes, such as the mouth and eyes.

The most common conditions under this group include Pemphigus Vulgaris, Bullous Pemphigoid, and Dermatitis Herpetiformis. Without timely treatment, these disorders can cause pain, infections, and significant discomfort.

Common Symptoms

• Fluid-filled blisters on skin or mucous membranes
• Redness, irritation, or burning sensation
• Painful erosions after blister rupture
• Crusting or oozing of affected areas
• Oral ulcers or difficulty swallowing in some cases

Causes & Risk Factors

• Autoimmune response — the immune system attacks the skin’s proteins
• Genetic predisposition or family history
• Certain medications (e.g., penicillin, NSAIDs, ACE inhibitors)
• Infections or stress triggering immune imbalance
• Older age (especially in Bullous Pemphigoid)
