Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The chronic blister-forming disease of the skin and oral mucous membranes described is consistent with pemphigus, which is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. Lupus erythematosus and psoriasis can also cause skin lesions, but they do not typically present with blistering. Eczema is a non-bullous inflammatory skin condition that does not usually involve mucous membranes.
