Pemphigoid is a group of rare autoimmune blistering diseases of the skin and mucous membranes. As its name indicates, pemphigoid is similar in general appearance to pemphigus,[1] however unlike pemphigus, pemphigoid does not feature acantholysis, a loss of connections between skin cells.[2]
Pemphigoid is more common than pemphigus and is slightly more common in women than in men. It is also more common in people older than 70 than it is in younger people.[3]
