Pemphigus is a fairly common disease that is characterized by the appearance of multiple blistering foci of redness on the skin, which are formed as a result of the inflammatory reaction of the skin. In this case, the bubbles themselves are filled with a transparent liquid. This disease is also known medically under other names, such as pemphigus. Atheromas.
Pemphigus belongs to the group of dermatological diseases and is characterized precisely by the appearance of rashes in the form of blisters on the surface of the skin. Common causes include diseases such as thyroid carcinoid or diabetes mellitus.
At the very beginning of the appearance of pemphigus, spots appear on the surface of the skin, and later small blisters appear. Most often, pemphigus occurs on the face, neck, and limbs. In some patients, they are especially localized on the palms and hands. In fact, with the onset of the disease, yellowish-brown spot-like formations, otherwise called papules, can be seen on the joints and back of the hands. Subsequently, the appearance of small bubble-like defects and the formation of blisters are observed. This is what marks the beginning of the development of Quincke's edema. Each new bubble causes the patient an increasing amount of discomfort, because when the bubble bursts, erosion forms in its place, in the area of which purulent discharge can be detected.
