Both congenital and acquired bullous dermatoses have the potential to impose a significant burden of disease, and the impact exerted on the quality of life (QOL) of patients is often multifaceted. The qualitative and quantitative studies reviewing QOL in patients with bullous dermatoses have all reported a significant decrease in QOL scores compared with the greater population using a range of patient-based measures. Formal evaluation of QOL in the setting of bullous dermatoses facilitates the assessment of disease severity and mapping of disease trajectory and can capture outcomes of therapeutic intervention relevant to the patient.
