Pemphigoid is a rare autoimmune disorder that could affect at any age, including in kids, but commonly affects the elderly population. Pemphigoid is caused by a malfunctioning of our immune system and could result in skin rashes and blistering on the legs, arms, and abdomen.

Pemphigoid can also cause blistering on the mucous membranes which are inside the body. Mucous membranes are present in the GIT and Respiratory tracts that produce mucus, which helps the body protect from external dangers or microorganisms or foreign bodies such as dust etc. Pemphigoid can be found on the mucous membranes in your eyes, nose, mouth, and genitals. It can also occur during pregnancy in some women.

There’s no cure for pemphigoid in conventional medicine, which Naturopathic medicine could have a better scope in treating this ailment.

I have worked with many people who had severe skin conditions. Although the names don't matter, all of them including mine were auto-immune. It's not a big deal and yes you can reverse this condition. Since this needs a detailed discussion on your existing lifestyle and corrections you must make, it's best you speak to me directly.
