Pemphigus vegetans refers to a group of autoimmune diseases in which your own immune system attacks epidermal cells, namely the top layer of your skin.
Just like Hidradenitis suppurativa, lesions may appear in areas where parts of skin naturally touch. They include eyes, genital areas, throat, nose, and mouth.
Those who are diagnosed with pemphigus vegetans most likely have a type called pemphigus vulgaris. Almost 3 people out of 100,000 have it. Unfortunately, if left untreated, pemphigus vegetans can be lethal.
In its early stages, corticosteroids are used to lower inflammation, but most patients need surgery in order to get rid of blisters and lesions.
You may know that Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease (a.k.a. IBD) that damages the gastrointestinal tract. Around 780,000 American people are dealing with IBD with approximately 38,000 new cases every single year.
However, almost 30 percent of those who suffer from Crohn’s disease also experience lesions (your doctor may call refer to them as cutaneous outbreak). These lesions can appear in the joints or eyes, and, unfortunately, there’s virtually no cure for this disease.
The only treatment option for cutaneous Crohn’s disease sufferers is surgery.
Important info: If lesions have spread rapidly they could lead to death.
