Atopic dermatitis, or eczema, is a condition that makes the skin red and itchy. It is common in children but can occur at any age. Atopic dermatitis is long lasting (chronic) and tends to flare periodically. It may be accompanied by asthma or hay fever. No cure has been found for atopic dermatitis, but treatments and self-care measures such as avoiding harsh soaps, moisturising, and applying medicated creams or ointments, can relieve itching and prevent new outbreaks. Pruritus, or itchy skin, is an uncomfortable, irritating sensation that makes a person want to scratch. It is often caused by dry skin and is more common in older adults, as skin tends to become drier with age. Depending on the cause of the itchiness, the skin may appear normal, red, rough or bumpy. Repeated scratching can cause raised thick areas of skin that might bleed or become infected. Many people find relief with self-care measures such as moisturising daily, using gentle cleansers and bathing with lukewarm water. Long-term relief requires identifying and treating the cause of itchy skin. Common treatments are medicated creams, moist dressings and oral anti-itch medicines. This book presents 30 clinical cases of patients with atopic dermatitis or pruritus. Each case is explained in a step-by-step manner, detailing history and symptoms, investigation techniques, diagnosis, and management. Many cases cover comorbid conditions associated with these skin disorders. Authored by recognised experts from worldwide Atopic Dermatitis Centres of Reference and Excellence (ADCARE), the practical text is further enhanced by photographs and figures. Key points Practical guide to diagnosis and management of atopic dermatitis and pruritus 30 clinical cases cover different skin conditions, many with comorbid conditions Authored by experts from Atopic Dermatitis Centres of Reference and Excellence Features photographs and figures to assist learning

Basic research on the pharmacology of itch has exploded in the wake of two very influential papers that were published in Nature (2007) and Science (2009). Long overlooked as a milder form of pain, itching has rapidly gained a new appreciation in both research and clinical communities because of its complexity and its negative effects on the quality of life of the distressed patients. Like pain, not all itches are the same. Unlike pain, there are no standard drugs equivalent to aspirin and morphine. Epidemiological studies emphasize the high incidence and economic costs of itch (pruritus). It is the most prevalent symptom of a wide variety of allergic and inflammatory skin conditions (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis), is associated with several systemic diseases (e.g., chronic kidney and liver disease), and occurs in patients undergoing hemodialysis, spinal administration of opioids, and in those suffering from AIDS. The reader will learn about the multiple pathways for itch and their interactions with pain. The relationship between these closely related, yet distinct sensory phenomena, will be emphasized. Both itch and pain use several common molecules to send signals to the brain. Thus, drugs that have been, and are being, developed as analgesics may also attenuate intractable itch. This has been an exciting and very necessary turn of events since traditional H-1 receptor antagonists are ineffective in blocking the pruritus associated with kidney failure and cholestasis. The clinical chapters will provide insights into contemporary treatment regimens for pruritus in different human scenarios.

Numerous treatments have been proposed. But the treatment of itch remains difficult and it depends on its etiology. The understanding of the pathophysiogeny of itch is necessary. Fortunately, many very interesting results of research have been reported in the recent years. 'Pruritis' will explain the pathophysiogeny of itch, describe all causes, and give guidelines for management and treatment.

Pruritus (itch) is a sensation that leads to the desire or reflex to scratch. If the sensation lasts for six weeks or beyond, then it is referred to as chronic pruritus. The signs and symptoms of chronic pruritus include contagious itch and itch inhibition due to pain. There are various causes leading to this condition that include factors such as infections, allergy and environment, and skin disorders. Infections like body louse, cutaneous larva migrans, head lice, herpes, insect bites, tungiasis, etc. and skin disorders such as dandruff, xerosis, and punctate palmoplantar keratoderma are some factors that lead to chronic pruritus. It can develop in the peripheral nervous system (dermal or neuropathic) or in the central nervous system (neuropathic, neurogenic, or psychogenic). Treatment methods include anti-itch drugs and some plant products that act as effective anti-pruritic. Certain non-chemical remedies such as cooling, warming, and soft stimulation are also used. If severe itching is caused due to kidney failure, then phototherapy can also be used as a treatment. This book strives to provide a fair idea about pruritus and will help develop a better understanding of the latest advances in its diagnosis and management. It includes contributions of experts and researchers, which will provide innovative insights to all involved in the study and management of this disease.

Albeit a very common symptom in dermatology, internal medicine, psychosomatics, neurology, and even oncology, itching was under-researched up until 15 years ago. Since then, the clinical aspects of acute and chronic itch have been examined extensively. As a result, some books on the topic have become available. Whereas most publications focus on experimental aspects and diagnostics, this volume of the series 'Current Problems in Dermatology' provides a comprehensive overview regarding the management of chronic itch. Select authors consider interdisciplinary aspects as well as age, body region, and specific diseases as they present a great variety of available treatments. All physicians with patients suffering from itch – especially dermatologists, general practitioners, gerontologists, nephrologists, hepatologists, neurologists, and palliative care doctors – will find this publication to be an essential source of information.

Advances in itch research have elucidated differences between itch and pain but have also blurred the distinction between them. There is a long debate about how somatic sensations including touch, pain, itch, and temperature sensitivity are encoded by the nervous system. Research suggests that each sensory modality is processed along a fixed, direct-line communication system from the skin to the brain. Itch: Mechanisms and Treatment presents a timely update on all aspects of itch research and the clinical treatment of itch that accompanies many dermatological conditions including psoriasis, neuropathic itch, cutaneous t-cells lymphomas, and systemic diseases such as kidney and liver disease and cancer. Composed of contributions from distinguished researchers around the world, the book explores topics such as: Neuropathic itch Peripheral neuronal mechanism of itch The role of PAR-2 in neuroimmune communication and itch Mrgprs as itch receptors The role of interleukin-31 and oncostatin M in itch and neuroimmune communication Spinal coding of itch and pain Spinal microcircuits and the regulation of itch Examining new findings on cellular and molecular mechanisms, the book is a compendium of the most current research on itch, its prevalence in society, and the problems associated with treatment.

Pruritus is a prevalent symptom in many skin conditions. However, much less is known about pruritus without primary skin disease. This problem affects most medical specialties, notably palliative care, haematology, oncology, internal medicine, hepatology, nephrology, anaesthesiology, immunology and psychiatry. Specialists from these disciplines each see few patients with severe pruritus and therefore have only limited possibility to learn from their experience. In response, this book aims to build a bridge of knowledge and evidence between the various different specialties. Pruritus can cause extreme discomfort in chronic cancer patients or in people who are receiving cancer treatment, as well as patients with non-malignant terminal illnesses. Knowledge about the pathophysiology of pruritus is scattered through many clinical specialties and this book brings this information together in a readily accessible compendium of knowledge which will be of value to physicians of any specialty. An international group of contributors cover the neurophysiology, clinical assessment, and measurement of scratching activity as well as opiod-induced pruritus, pruritus in haematological disorders, neuropathic pruritus, psychogenic pruritus and therapies and treatment. Aimed primarily at palliative care physicians, oncologists and nurses, the book will also prove valuable to all health care professionals who require guidelines to assist with effective symptom control thereby ensuring best quality of life for their patients.
