Hailey-Hailey disease

A new disease profile is added to our database – Hailey-Hailey disease. Hailey-Hailey disease or chronic benign familial pemphigus, is a genodermatosis arising in adult age, around the third or fourth decades, with recurrent painful vesicles, erosions and scaly erythematous plaques primarily in the flexural areas such as the neck, axillae, groins and perineum. The profile was written by our consultant in dermatology – Dr. Ivelina Yordanova, MD, PhD
