Pruritus: identifying and treating the causes.

The physician's ability to successfully treat and at least control, if not cure, the skin diseases resulting in pruritus has come through better understanding of skin physiology and the fortuitous discovery of a number of pharmacologic agents that significantly influence the pathologic processes causing itching.
