Description
Benign Mucous Membrane Pemphigoid (MMP) is a vesiculobullous (VB) lesion that affects oral and nasal mucosa, oropharynx, conjunctiva, and genital mucosa. It is considered an autoimmune disease. Autoantibodies are produced due to several external factors or genetic factors. It creates many complications, such as defects in vision, voice alteration (hoarseness), airway obstruction, and dyspareunia. The subepithelial blisters form due to these antibodies. Treatment modalities differ from topical steroids to systemic steroid therapy based on the nature and severity of clinical symptoms.
