How To Cure Pemphigus Foliaceus?

Hi, I was diognosed with pemphigus foliaceus almost 5 years ago. Tryed many medicines including pednisone. Still gets bad flare ups, and each time in a different place, which means it will always be there, i have it on at least 50% of my body including my scalp is coverd. Is there any break through with other medicine that are not so invasive? And is there a pemphigus specialist, because most dermatoligist dont know much about the disease.

Hello,
Thanks for the query,

Pemphigus can only be controlled.

It cannot be treated completely.

Treatment can be with oral anti histamines.

Steroids like prednisolone are also helpful but cannot be used for long.

Please meet a dermatologist for exact diagnosis.

Let me know if you have any other doubt.
