Bullous Pemphigoid is a rare skin disorder characterised by the tense blisters on the surface of the skin. In rare cases, the inner lining tissue of the mouth, nasal passages or the conjunctivae of the eyes can be involved. These blisters can develop on the lower abdomen, upper thighs and on the armpits. This condition is more common in people older than 60 years.
This disease needs early and proper treatment to prevent further morbidity or mortality.
WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF BULLOUS PEMPHIGOID?
The exact cause of bullous pemphigoid is not known. The painful blisters in bullous pemphigoid occur because of a malfunction in the immune system.
The body's immune system normally produces antibodies to fight bacteria, viruses or other harmful foreign substances. The inflammation that causes blisters are produced by the antibodies. The immune system produces antibodies to the fibres that connect the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) and the dermis (next layer of the skin).
WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF BULLOUS PEMPHIGOID?
- The main feature of bullous pemphigoid is the appearance of large blisters that do not rupture when touched or some people may develop hive-like rashes.
- Blisters appear on the organs such as lower abdomen, groin, upper thighs and arms.
- Sores in the mouth may also be developed.
- The affected areas of the skin may be very itchy as well as painful.
DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
To confirm the diagnosis, doctor may perform skin biopsy for laboratory testing.
The goal of the treatment is to help the skin to heal quickly and to relieve itching. Modern treatment prescribes certain combination of drugs that inhibit the immune system activities that cause inflammation.
Western approach to auto-immune disorders aim at prescribing corticosteroids and other powerful immunosuppressants. The Ayurvedic approach to auto-immune disorders is to strengthen the digestion as well as to put the immune system to rest rather than to suppress it. Therefore, in today's world, we must take few lessons from the ancient sages of Ayurveda for treating incurable diseases and for a new way of life.
