Clinico-demographic data of children and socio-demographic details of primary caregivers were collected. Out of pocket expenditure for treatment was calculated for all the patients. The quality of life of children was assessed using the Children\u2019s Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) and the caregiver\u2019s quality of life was assessed using the Family Dermatology Life Quality Index (FDLQI).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>CDLQI was impaired in 85.29 % of children with a median score of 7.

FDLQI was impaired in 96.1% of caregivers with a median value of 11. The most affected FDLQI items were \u2018emotional\u2019 in 95%, followed by \u2018time-spent\u2019 in 78.4%. Almost 40% of patients had catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) and their FDLQI was significantly higher (p\u22120.014) compared to caregivers who did not experience catastrophic health expenditure. FDLQI had a positive relationship with the involvement of exposed body sites (p\u22120.003), CDLQI (p\u22120.000), treatment expense (p\u22120.031) and a negative correlation with duration of illness
