Overview
Pruritus is an itching sensation that triggers the desire to scratch. It is a
distressing symptom that can cause discomfort. Scratching may cause breaks in
the skin that may result in infection. Pruritus can be related to anything
from dry skin to undiagnosed cancer. It can occur in people who have cancer or
in those who have received cancer treatment.
