Chronic blisters are among the most serious diseases worldwide. Although this is a rare disease, it is very important to make clinical diagnostic tests, which are deemed accurate according to the laboratory results and observations. Nevertheless cases of this diseases have been reported in high numbers from various hospitals and clinics and mostly connects to the same families, meaning that it is a hereditary diseases contracted from the members of the family.
There are various types of chronic blisters. The disease is a heterogeneous group of disorders that affects the skin or the mucous membrane but sometimes it can affect both. This disease if not properly handled and treated at an early stage can bring severe pains and fatal consequences and hence its diagnosis should not be delayed and the same to treatment, which should follow immediately. These chronic blisters at secondary stage will cause very painful erosions.
Blisters most of times affects the skin representing a group of specific organ usually known as autoimmune disorders. They are characterized by binding of some circulation of autoantibodies causing tight adhesion molecules of the inner skin mostly the epidermis and demo-epidermal membranes. By binding of these autoantibodies with their antigenic, this will result in the loss of this adhesion force occurring between the epidermal keratinocytes and the one at the level of the basement membrane zone.
Histopathology will help to detect and reveal the affected location, the way the blister has formed itself. This information is very important as it help in the identification of the disorder of the skin normally known as bullous skin disorder. Immuno-fluorescence falls to be essential when it comes to the diagnosis of autoimmune bulbous skin disorders whereby the tissues that are binding the autoantibodies are directly arrested and detected by immuno-fluorescence. Other circulating autoantibodies can also be detected. They can also be visualized by indirectly using Immuno-fluorescence tissue substrate such as sodium chloride.
Apart from affecting the skin, chronic blisters can also affect the mouth and lips, occurring mostly on the inner parts of the lips, rear corners and even the sides of the mouth. This affected area falls to be very critical, as with time the complication can lead to very severe pains, difficulty while eating, or swallowing resulting to tonsil blisters, what follows is a nasty, persistent, and sour taste in the mouth, which will eventually clear only if the blister are treated and fade away. Other part of the body, which can be affected by the chronic blisters, is the feet. To curb the blisters among other treatments is to be very strict on a well balanced diet to have a strong immune system improving on your health although a medical assistance from the experts is highly recommended.
