Itch, (also known as pruritus) is a common skin disorder that can be described as an irritation of the skin resulting in the urge to scratch. Itches can be either localized (occurring in one area of the body) or generalized (occurring all over). Itching impairs the quality of life for those who suffer from the skin irritation and may cause agitation, loss of concentration and in severe cases depression.
In order to treat itches effectively, the underlying disorder (if any) should be recognized and addressed by a dermatologist. Ask to be referred to SimcoDerm if you suffer from itching.
