What is autoimmune bulbous disease?

Autoimmune bulbous (or bullous) disease is a condition that causes blisters on the skin. The blisters most often form on the:

  • Legs
  • Arms
  • Trunk
  • Mouth

In severe cases, many blisters appear. The blisters can cause:

  • Itching
  • Rashes
  • Sores
  • Bleeding gums
  • Death (severe cases only)

Autoimmune bulbous disease is caused by changes to the body’s autoimmune system. The autoimmune system helps to protect the body from disease, but for reasons that are not understood, it sometimes mistakenly attacks healthy tissue.
