Pemphigus is a rare autoimmune disorder that causes blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. The blisters are usually large and filled with fluid, known as bullae. Wheals and vesicles are not typically seen in pemphigus. A rash is a non-specific term and could describe many different skin conditions.
