Pemphigoid: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatments

4. Other Signs and Symptoms of Pemphigoid

Other types of Pemphigoid can include IgA Pemphigus, which causes blisters on the face and scalp. People with this form may also develop small, pus-filled bumps. An antibody called IgA causes it. These blisters do not spread to the mouth. The second type of pemphigus is called Pemphigus Foliaceus. It often causes itchy, but not painful, skin patches and blisters. They usually start on the face and scalp, then appear elsewhere as well.

Pemphigus Vegatanus causes thick sores in the groin and underarm area. In each of these conditions, the commonality of spreading blisters and separated skin is present. Proper diagnosis should come from a medical professional.
