HAUT 04 – Itching

Itching (pruritus) triggers the desire to scratch the corresponding area. The area of skin that itches sometimes looks normal, in other cases it is altered by a (skin) disease. If the itching does not subside after six weeks, doctors speak of chronic pruritus.
Itching is an annoying, sometimes even agonizing sensory perception that is accompanied by an insatiable urge to scratch. If the hands do not reach the itchy area, affected persons sometimes take objects to help. Pruritus is usually noticeable on certain parts of the body (localized), but in some cases itching occurs all over the body (generalized).
The type of pruritus that occurs on the upper body depends on its cause: Sometimes an allergy or a skin disease such as neurodermatitis (atopic eczema) is behind it, sometimes it is a fungal infection or simply dry skin. Depending on the cause, the itching varies in severity. Sometimes it is present day and night, sometimes the itching occurs only when one comes to rest.
