  7. Management: Early aggressive treatment
    1. First-Line: Prednisone 0.5 to 0.75 mg/kg/day x6 months
    2. Ocular Involvement: Azathioprine or Cyclophosphamide
    3. Skin Involvement: Topical Corticosteroids

Pemphigoid, Benign Mucous Membrane (C0030804)

Definition (NCI) A chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by the development of blisters and ulcers in mucous membranes. It affects most often the gums, eyelids and genital mucosa sites.
Definition (MSH) A chronic blistering disease with predilection for mucous membranes and less frequently the skin, and with a tendency to scarring. It is sometimes called ocular pemphigoid because of conjunctival mucous membrane involvement.
