Autoimmune blistering diseases are a group of disorders in which the body attacks the healthy tissue, causing blistering lesions primarily affecting the skin and mucous and membranes. The symptoms and severity of blistering diseases vary from one person to another, even among individuals with the same disorder. In some cases, blistering lesions can involve a significant portion of the skin. Although, there is no cure for autoimmune blistering diseases, they can often be controlled with treatment. In other cases, autoimmune blistering diseases if left untreated can eventually cause life-threatening complications.

Autoimmune blistering diseases are a group of disorders in which the body attacks the healthy tissue, causing blistering lesions primarily affecting the skin and mucous and membranes. The symptoms and severity of blistering diseases vary from one person to another, even among individuals with the same disorder. In some cases, blistering lesions can involve a significant portion of the skin. Although, there is no cure for autoimmune blistering diseases, they can often be controlled with treatment. In other cases, autoimmune blistering diseases if left untreated can eventually cause life-threatening complications.
