About this condition

Pemphigus vegetans is a rare autoimmune skin disorder where the body attacks its own skin cells, causing painful blisters that develop into wart-like, oozing growths especially in skin folds like armpits, groin, and under breasts. These lesions often have a foul smell and can become infected if left untreated. It requires specialist dermatological care and immunosuppressive treatment.
