Pemphigoid
Appearance
Pemphigoid is a autoimmune blistering skin disease.
There are three types: Gestational pemphigoid or Pemphigoid gestationis(PG) (formerly called Herpes gestationis, Bullous pemphigoid (BP) and Mucous membrane pemphigoid or Cicatricial pemphigoid CP). They are considered connective tissue autoimmune skin diseases. Bullous and Cicatricial pemphigoids usually affect persons who are above age 60. Gestational pemphigoid occurs during pregnancy, typically in the second or third trimester, and/or immediately following pregnancy.
