@glongdmd Oh how terrible that sounds. I was and am still terrified of this thing entering in my mouth. I can't even imagine. I'm very sorry you have to go through this. I wonder why your dr. isnt agreeing with the vulgaris. It sure sounds like what i researched. Also not sure what is a DMSO rinse your speaking of? I'd like to know just in case. Also Retuximad? I've not heard of this before. Did your dr think it was your Dapsone that triggered this? I have been on Lisinapril for years but not sure if that's a trigger. It's a blood pressure med. At any rate I wish you better days and I really appreciate your imput. This has been the worst illness I have ever been through. it helps to know that others know just what I'm talking about. Just to add, I know there are way worse diseases out there and so many cancers. There are so many that have suffered way worse than I have. I never mean to sound pitiful, this is truly the first time when I felt like I might not survive something. I'm better now but there were some days....Thank you for reading, be well

@pmpleakTo clarify...I was prescribed Dapsone FOR the Pemphigoid/Pemphigus and it has resolved 95% of the skin issues. DMSO is a bit controversial and definitely an alternative venue but with quite a bit of literature support. Dimethyl Sulfoxide is technically a solvent but has been shown to have tremendous anti-inflammatory properties. I use it as an oral rinse as a 25% solution with distilled water. I would recommend a bit of reading on it prior to use but for me this has been a game changer on helping with the oral bullous lesions. I wish I had known about it while in practice. I think it would have helped with a lot of introral viral and autoimmune issues for my patients.
