Suggest Treatments For Recurring Pemphigus Vulgaris
I am searching for a cure or at lease remission... Suffering from Pemphigus Vulgaris for about a year... we have it under control,,, the blisters on my face are gone... but we can t stop the blisters from coming back in my mouth and from time to time in my nose... Am tired from my Anti rejection medicine... all the creams, gel and compounds do not help... was on 140 mg prednisone for few months... is there any cure or any treatment other what I mentioned...
