Hello everyone!
Pemphigus vulgaris & Bullous pemphigoid are autoimmune diseases of the skin.
Here's a strange association I've made in my head to help me remember most of the points about Pemphigus vulgaris.. And then, I remember that the other one is the other one =D
Pemphigus vulgaris
Vulgar means "Making explicit and offensive reference"
People may talk in a vulgar language. (Talk - mouth - blisters on the oral mucosa)
Usually, teenagers are said to be vulgar. (Younger patients are affected)
They are also despos (DesPo - DesMo - Antibodies against desmoglein)
Vulgar people are shallow and superficial (Superficial blisters that are above the basal layer)
Since they are superficial, they will rupture easily. (Nikolsky's sign positive)
They are trapped in their own net. (Net like IgG on immunoflorescence)
And die. (Patients die without treatment, poor prognosis)
And have tombstones on their graves. (Tombstone appearance of basal layer)

Table for differentiation:
That's all!
Lemme know if it helped <3
