The antibody responsible for pemphigus is desmogleins.

Along with other treatments, you can also get rid of this problem quickly by changing your lifestyle and some home remedies:

Talcum powder or any other powder may be used. It will reduce itching in the wound on the skin and also provides relief from irritation.
Do not eat too much oil and spicy food, it will increase the heat in your body and, it can cause a burning sensation in the mouth. Take special care of your oral health. Because the risk of infection from mouth ulcers increases significantly.
Avoid sun rays as much as possible, sunlight can cause more damage to the skin, and more blisters may occur on the skin than before. Clean the blisters and wounds frequently with clean clothes and also take care that your skin does not get hurt.
Awareness of its symptoms is your first treatment. So if you are experiencing symptoms, then you should not panic at all and start the remedy. Take medicines on time.
