The system is supposed to defend the body against bacterium, viruses, and diseases, however instead produces antibodies against healthy tissue, cells and organs. Some patients with BP produce other reaction diseases such diabetes and atrophic arthritis. Numerous different factors are reported to play a role in triggering BP. These includes medication (furosemide, penicillin's), mechanical trauma, and physical traumas (burns from radiation, sun or heat). Bullous is the medical term for a large blister (a thin-walled sac full of clear fluid). Typically the skin in BP is incredibly restless and huge, red welts and hives might seem before or throughout the formation of blisters. The blisters are widespread and frequently seem on the areas of the body that flex or move (flexural areas). Concerning 15%-20% of individuals with BP additionally develop blisters within the mouth or down the throat within the muscle system.
