A person suffering from this disease usually forms a reinforced layer of colored skin or what dermatologists call "vegetation" in specific areas of the body. Finally, the growth would increase and may result in a tumor -like appearance. Pemphigus vegetan is an autosomal dominant condition, which means that the affected parent usually converts disease into offspring. All Pemphigus variants are caused by a non -functional immune system that assumes and attacks the skin as a foreign body. Sometimes vulva in the female genital area can also be affected. Patients may begin to suffer from a skin disorder at a young age and in an early stage they may have permanently numerous blisters that "pop" constantly. The skin under the cracked blister of the net recovers correctly, but instead develops colored lesions similar to warts that look like small and grained bubbles.
