Two case reports of adult siblings are described, who presented with benign familial pemphigus or Hailey-Hailey disease --type of genodermatosis by altered epidermal cohesion-- attended in "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital of Santiago de Cuba. Patients were treated with steroids at anti-inflammatory doses, antibiotics, and topical plant liniment and aloe cream, besides receiving flower therapy. In general, both of them improved the clinical picture during their stay in this institution.

Palabras clave : benign familial pemphigus; Hailey-Hailey disease; genodermatosis; dermatology ward; secondary health care.
