Bullous pemphigoid (BP) is a severe autoimmune blistering condition that characteristically presents as large tense bullae on a background of normal or erythematous skin. In atypical cases, presentation is widely variegated ranging from vesicular eruptions to erythrodermic presentations. This case highlights on a rare presentation of BP manifesting with varicella-like eruption. The recognition and early diagnosis of a unique presentation of this condition is of great importance as it may greatly influence the patient’s outcome and prognosis.

Vulvar syringoma is a rare presentation of a benign eccrine sweat gland tumor that is more commonly found on the face. It typically presents as small, flesh-colored papules on the labia majora. Unlike syringomas elsewhere, the vulvar variant can cause significant pruritus, often worsened by heat, sweating, menses, or pregnancy. While asymptomatic cases may not require treatment, options for pruritus and cosmetic concerns include topical medications and surgical modalities like excision or laser ablation. This case report details the successful management of intractable vulvar pruritus caused by syringoma in a 53-year-old Filipino female using electrodessication. We aim to highlight the importance of considering this often-overlooked condition in the differential diagnosis of vulvar lesions, particularly in cases of persistent pruritus.
