Autoimmune disorder Pemphigus Vulgaris?!
Question:
Autoimmune disorder Pemphigus Vulgaris?
Does anyone suffer with this disease or know someone who has? I want to know what medications were used to prevent or help the blisters/sores? It would also be helpful if you could say whether you had a severe case or not & just detail what your treatment was.....I have a immediate relative that suffers from this & it seems as if nothing works completely, but I just want to here others experiences to see if there is anything the dr's are overlooking, treatment wise. Thanks in advance.
Answers:
Steroids and immunosupressives are your best bets.
