Abstract
- Familial benign pemphigus is a skin disease with recurrent blistering lesions, mainly in the neck and intertriginous areas. The course of the disease is characterized by spontaneous exacerbations and remissions. The many remedies for this disorder include topical and systemic glucocorticosteroids, and antibacterial and antimycotic agents. However, these therapies usually do not prolong the remission periods. Surgical treatments, such as skin graft, have been more successful. Laser treatment has reported to be effective in recurrent familial benign chronic phemphigus. Here we report a case of familial benign chronic phemphigus that was treated with carbin dioxide laser.
