Abstract

Itch is a common manifestation of Bullous Pemphigoid (BP) that may indicate blister onset or recurrence. Recent studies characterized the effect of itch on quality of life (QoL) in BP, though the literature regarding pain in BP is sparse. We compare itch and pain reported by patients diagnosed with BP. Data from the initial study visits of 38 subjects enrolled in our prospective blistering disease database was retrospectively reviewed. Bullous Pemphigoid Disease Area Index (BPDAI) activity scores, Physician Global Assessment (PGA) activity scores, and Patient Global Assessment (PtGA) itch and pain were completed at the study visit.
