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.[1][2] Gestational pemphigoid occurs during pregnancy,[3] typically in the second or third trimester, and/or immediately following pregnancy.
