Bullous pemphigoid may affect a small area of the body or be widespread. The blisters usually occur on areas of the skin that are flexible, such as under the armpit or on the abdomen. About one-third of people with bullous pemphigoid develop blisters in their mouth, throat, and esophagus, in addition to their skin.

Oral pemphigoid (pemphigoid of the mouth) is an uncommon blistering condition which affects primarily the lining of the mouth and gums. Other moist surfaces of the body (known as mucous membranes) can also be affected, and these include the surface layers of the eyes, inside the nose and the genitalia.

Symptoms of Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid

• eye redness.
• mucous discharge in your eyes.
• ulcers in your conjunctiva, mouth, genitals, and anus.
• hoarseness and difficulty swallowing.

Summary Summary. Cicatricial pemphigoid is a rare, chronic, blistering and scarring disease that affects the oral and ocular mucosa. Other mucosal sites that might be affected include the nasopharnyx, larynx, genitalia, rectum, and esophagus.

Mucous membrane pemphigoid is a rare, chronic, blistering and scarring disease that affects the oral and ocular mucosa. Other mucosal sites that might be affected include the nasopharnyx, larynx, genitalia, rectum, and esophagus.

Ocular involvement should not be confused with drug induced pemphigoid (pseudoocular cicatricial pemphigoid), which is self limiting and usually develops after long term use of glaucoma medication
