Pemphigus

a skin disease characterized by large thin-walled blisters (bullae) arising from normal skin or mucous membrane

Examples

1. What I see here are kind of crusted sores and so with pemphigus foliaceus, this is actually an autoimmune condition.

2. Well, I basically have had this rare skin disease called pemphigus foliaceus for about five years now, and it starts as a blister

3. Then the pemphigus comes back, and then it's difficult, you know, because then she has to start the whole routine all over again.

4. She was the youngest and smallest dog I've ever treated with pemphigus and she was doing very poorly at last visit.
