Abstract

Pruritic dermatoses of the elderly often pose a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Specifically, a prodromal phase of bullous pemphigoid (BP) has to be considered in patients with pruritic lesions of polymorphic appearance. These conditions frequently do not fulfil all the clinical, histological and immunopathological criteria for establishing the diagnosis of BP.
