[edit] Talcum Powder Citation
Here's one... it says citation needed... I just don't know how to add it:

[edit] Pemphigus
I had a grandmother who was diagnosed with pemphigus when she was 62 years old. She passed away in 2001 at the age of 91. She had to live with this virtually unknown disease for a long time. Her first symptoms had to do with her eyes. Her lids were turning inward because of the drying out of her eyes. Needless to say she began undergoing different surgical procedures that just didn't work. She eventually became blind. This also affected her nose and throat. She had so much scar tissue built up in her throat that she could only eat pureed, watered-down baby food and drink nutrition drinks. She was miserable until the day she died.
My question is this: Can this be hereditary. I am in my mid fifties. I have constant eczema on my scalp, have a recurring mouth infection that just doesn't seem to go away. There are places on my fingers by my nails that seem to crack, split and peel no matter the amount of lotion or medicine I put on them. Should I look into the possibility of this? Would there be another avenue for me to pursue?
Thank you,

[edit] glue and keeps the cell together
this phrasing should be improved to say what is exactly going on here... desmosomes, basement membrane zone problem, hemidesmosome, etc... overall, I think this could be made more technical.
