In a variety of inflammatory skin disorders, mycophenolate (Cellcept) has been successfully used both in combination with systemic steroids and as monotherapy. Early reports on efficacy and tolerability suggest that mycophenolate offers hope to patients with immune-mediated skin disease.
However further trials are needed to validate its safety and efficacy.

Sounds like we are in VERY similiar, if not identical situations.
Ive had Erithema Multi-formate Major for about 2 years now, and have seen more doctors and specilists about it than you can imagine. For the first... 18 months of my sickness it was miss-diagnossed as "pemphagus," (they were still treating it with pregnizone) but they have done countless HIV and herpes tests, all of which have been negative.
After essentually giving up that I would EVER get healthy, my parents took my down to the MAYO center in Minnesota. (a VERY good, but VERY expensive hospital). After a number of tests it was determined that I did have the Erithema Mutiformate Major, and the best way to deal with it was with a drug called "CellCept".
Ive been on this CellCept for a bit over a month, and havnt had a "flare-up" since Ive started on it, which is awesome news to me. SO far, the Cellcept is DEFFINITALLY a big help, and i recommend it big time.
