Pemphigus Vulgaris
I've been diagnosed with Pemphigus Vulgaris. I have extremely painful mouth blisters which extend a little down my throat too. I also have a skin condition where in even a tiniest scratch over my skin ends up getting swollen. I'm having tonsillitis alongside and I'm on medication for that. I consulted a periodontologist and he has asked me to taking an antioxidant for the Pemphigus. Should i consult a dermatologist? And I'm completely unable to eat.. And have no energy to get along the days. How can i fix my mouth blisters sooner?

Pemphigus vulgaris can be treated with steroid tablets and creams. It is an autoimmune disease where antibodies are formed against some components of your skin. Only taking antioxidant tablets will not help you. You can use lignocaine gel before taking meals for the pain. You should consult a Dermatologist for more comprehensive treatment.
