Abstract:
Psoriasis is a systematic immune-mediated inflammatory disease where there is an increased cell turnover of the skin leading to scaling, drying, and erythema. The occurrence of pemphigus foliaceus, an autoimmune blistering disease (AIBD) characterized by flaccid bullae and erosions, is rare when concomitantly present with psoriasis. Treatment options for these diseases may overlap. We report a case of a 44-year-old female who presented with both psoriasis and pemphigus foliaceus successfully treated with methotrexate.
