Find Answers for Unexplained Skin Blisters and Sores
When your skin develops painful blisters, mouth sores, or peeling that won’t heal, it can be frightening and isolating. You deserve clear answers and a path forward. Our Epidermal (Pemphigus) Antibody IFA Test provides the precise diagnosis needed to understand autoimmune skin conditions affecting South Africans.
Understanding Your Test: What We’re Looking For
This specialised test detects antibodies that mistakenly attack your skin’s epidermal layer, causing the painful blistering and sores characteristic of pemphigus. Using advanced Immunofluorescence Assay technology, we identify these autoimmune markers with exceptional accuracy, giving you and your dermatologist the information needed for proper treatment.
Is This Test Right for You?
Consider this test if you’re experiencing:
- Painful blisters that rupture easily
- Persistent mouth sores or ulcers
- Skin that peels or separates with minimal pressure
- Unexplained skin lesions that won’t heal
- Family history of autoimmune conditions
- Previous inconclusive skin test results
Many South Africans initially mistake these symptoms for common skin issues, delaying proper diagnosis and treatment.

Getting an accurate pemphigus diagnosis early can:
- Prevent disease progression and complications
