Re: Pemphigus vulgaris
To make sure you have it, your doctor should test for the desmoglein antibodies? It is good you found out the cause if it is the cause, but the bad news is it is lifelong treatment that involves corticosteroids. I never wanted to take corticosteroids because it makes your face look bloated. There are long-term health risks as well. For another condition I thought I might need to take corticosteroids for, I researched alternatives to Prednisone.
