What are Pruritus and its Cause?
It is a sensation which seems unpleasant and creates a desire to scratch. It’s also known as itch, it leads to a scratch reflex.
Itching is associated with both dermatologic and systemic causes and it is important to determine whether there is an associated skin eruption. A characteristic rash usually establishes the diagnosis of a primary dermatological disorder.
Severe itching leads to vigorous scratching that causes secondary skin changes of excoriation, lichenification, dryness, eczematization and infection. Over-bathing and contact allergy to topical therapies may lead to dermatitis.
