Pemphigus vulgaris is an autoimmune vesiculobullous skin disease. The etiology of this disease remains obscure, although the presence of autoantibodies is consistent with an autoimmune disease (IgG and C3 Complexes). This case report describes the case of a male patient, 59-years-old who complained of numerous flaccid blisters and skin erosion accompanied by pain and an unpleasant odor on the whole of his body that appeared six months ago. His skin disease has been treated using several topical medicines (steroid found), painkiller (acetaminophen), some short-course antibiotics, and no ingested traditional or herbal medicine, but the body didn't heal. Healthcare needs to do a complete assessment based on the patient's signs and symptoms. However, with proper examination and medicine, pemphigus vulgaris can be challenging to treat.
