Add to ORKGPruritus at elderly age can be caused by a variety of diseases, among which the auto-immune bullous disease cutaneous pemphigoid (bullous pemphigoid, parapemphigus) and scabies. Besides the typical bullous presentation of cutaneous pemphigoid, there is a variant without blistering, called nonbullous cutaneous pemphigoid. This variant without blisters is difficult to recognize and can mimic other pruritic dermatosis, such as scabies. We present two nursing home residents with severe chronic itch, caused by nonbullous cutaneous pemphigoid and scabies. Both received effective treatment respectively with methotrexate 7,5mg/week in combination with transcutaneous systemic clobetasol therapy and with permethrin 5% cream.</p
