A careful examination can identify dermatological causes for the itch (eg scabies, lichen simplex, pemphigoid) or evidence of chronic skin changes related to the itch. In dermatological causes of pruritus, primary skin lesions will usually suggest the diagnosis. Patients without primary skin lesions and little evidence of chronic scratching should be investigated for systemic, neuropathic and psychogenic causes. Tetracyclic antidepressants such as mirtazepine and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (paroxetine, sertraline, fluoxetine) may also help some patients with severe itch including when it is caused by cholestasis, T-cell lymphoma, malignancy or a neuropathic cutaneous dysaesthesia.

He explains the cause of itching is not always straightforward, and it is one of the most frequent reasons people go to see a dermatologist. In addition to being effective for relieving itch from bug bites, the cream also works to relieve minor symptoms related to poison ivy, a skin rash, or allergic reaction, among other minor skin ailments that cause itchy skin. Moisturizers have long been used to maintain the integrity of the epidermal barrier and promote its protective function against dehydration, irritants, allergens, and infectious pathogens, all of which may precipitate itch and/or pain. Increases in transepidermal water loss (TEWL), which suggest decreased barrier function, are associated with increased intensity of pruritus in atopic dermatitis (AD) and other itchy dermatoses. 1 Disturbances in the cornified layer in particular may be due to loss of specific structural proteins, poor hydration, or may be multifactorial and lend to altered barrier protection.
