Pemphigus is a autoimmune disease
Methylprednisolone, a high-dose corticosteroid, is often used as a first-line treatment for pemphigus, typically administered intravenously in pulse doses to rapidly control blistering and inflammation.

Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes blisters and sores on the skin or mucous membranes, such as in the mouth or on the genitals. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the proteins in the skin that hold skin cells together12.
Treatment for pemphigus often involves corticosteroids like dexamethasone to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system12. Administering dexamethasone 18 mg in infusion along with normal saline (NS) and Ringer’s lactate (RL) is a common approach to manage severe cases, as it helps in controlling the disease and preventing new blisters from forming
It’s important to follow your doctor’s instructions and discuss any concerns you have about your treatment plan. If you have any side effects or questions about the medication, don’t hesitate to reach out to me
How are you feeling about the diagnosis and treatment so far?
