Cycticercosis is a parasitic infection resulting from ingestion of eggs of Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm. Cutaneous cysticercosis can be a clinically indolent disease or can be associated with subcutaneous nodules, visceral and CNS involvement. Their presence signals the search for systemic involvement, especially neurocysticercosis. Cutaneous cysticercosis has been rarely reported in literature.

Background: Pulsed corticosteroids are the mainstay in management of pemphigus but long term use is associated with numerous side effects. Biologics have shown promising results with minimal adverse effects but are expensive.
