LB1101 Itch and quality of life impact in atopic dermatitis vs bullous pemphigoid

Atopic dermatitis (AD) and bullous pemphigoid (BP) are inflammatory skin diseases in which patients often report intense pruritus and significant quality of life (QOL) impact. Although they have differences in classical presentation (eczematous eruption versus urticaria and blisters) and population characteristics (young-to middle aged persons vs. elderly), early stages of BP can appear similar to AD clinically and histologically. We wanted to explore whether there were significant similarities or differences in pruritus characteristics and QOL impact.
