Itch, or pruritus, is a common sensation that causes a person to want to scratch. It can be a major quality of life issue. Itch is a complex process that can be prompted by a variety of health impairments. It is commonly associated with skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis and urticaria or being a symptom of an underlying disease such as cholestasis or hyperthyroidism. It can also manifest from dry skin, especially in cold weather.

Normally, once you have been diagnosed with rheumatic disorders such as different arthritises, neck/back pains from disc problems, or fibromyalgia, you will be told to ‘live with’ these diseases, take drugs that may risk some unexpected, even dangerous, side effects, change your lifestyle, and even accept loss of mobility. In addition, the long-term pain may also cause related psychiatric symptoms including anxiety and depression, which are recognised as chronic pain syndrome.
