How to Treat Pemphigus Vulgaris?

Medical Treatment:

• No cure for pemphigus vulgaris
• Steroid medication (corticosteroids) plus other immunosuppressant medication are usually prescribed
• It can help to stop the healthy tissue damage by the immune system
• Stop taking medication if symptoms disappear and do not come back when treatment is stopped

Do the following things to help cope with pemphigus vulgaris:

• Do not eat spicy, crispy or acidic foods
• Use a soft toothbrush
• Use anaesthetic mouthwashes, especially before eating or brushing your teeth
• Have dental check-ups regularly
• Take painkillers
• Avoid activities which make skin damage
• Practice good oral hygiene (use antiseptic mouthwash)

You should see a dermatologist if you develop symptoms of an infection, such as your skin becoming very painful, hot and red, or a build-up of pus under the skin
