Yvette A Tivoli et al. J Clin Aesthet Dermatol. 2009 Jul.

Abstract

Pruritus is among the most common dermatological complaints. The authors examine the pathophysiology of itch according to the most common mediators uncovered by researchers. They also discuss the encompassing etiologies, which include dermatological, psychological, and systemic causes. Finally, they discuss the diagnostic approach and the latest, most appropriate treatment options. (J Clin Aesthetic Dermatol. 2009;2(7):30-36.).
