Can elderly people with pemphigus be cured?

Patient's question:

Grandma's oral mucosa developed blisters and erosion again, followed by skin damage that took a long time to heal. A few days later, I noticed that the normal skin outside had also started to develop soybean-sized blisters, which gradually grew into walnut-sized blisters, looking like they had pus. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Pemphigus is a chronic, recurrent, and severe skin disease that can cause patients to experience symptoms such as blisters, pus formation, itching, and pain. Pemphigus can be controlled through medication, and early treatment should be administered to prevent the condition from spreading. Pemphigus patients must pay close attention to personal hygiene, frequently washing bedding, linens, clothes, etc. Proper diet is also important—avoiding foods (stimulating foods) and protecting the skin from direct sunlight, as ultraviolet rays can worsen skin damage.
