Pemphigus is a disease that causes blistering of the skin and the inside of the mouth, nose, throat, eyes, and genitals. The disease is rare in the United States.
Pemphigus is anautoimmune diseasein which the immune system mistakenly attacks cells in the top layer of the skin (epidermis) and the mucous membranes.

When these bonds are disrupted, skin becomes fragile, and fluid can collect between its layers, forming blisters.
