Cicatricial pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the skin and mucous membranes. It is characterized by the formation of blisters and sores, which can lead to scarring. The condition occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the proteins that help anchor the skin layers together, resulting in separation and blistering. The most commonly affected areas include the mouth, eyes, and skin. In severe cases, cicatricial pemphigoid can cause complications such as vision loss due to scarring of the eyes. Treatment typically involves medications to suppress the immune response and manage symptoms, often requiring a multidisciplinary approach involving dermatologists and ophthalmologists.
