Pemphigus Vulgaris

Description
Pemphigus vulgaris is a potentially life threatening blistering skin condition. There is currently no cure for pemphigus vulgaris and at times it can be very difficult to control. As with many other blistering conditions, systemic medications, such as prednisone, are currently used as the standard of care, but this can have many dose related side effects when used over a long time.
