Itch causes misery and can be very difficult to treat. In this lecture, Peter Lio, MD, looks at the causes of itch, discusses the workup and reviews a therapeutic ladder for itch including topicals, “safe” systemics, more powerful systemics, and alternative approaches. After listening to the Deeper Dialogue, attendees will be able to:
- Discuss approaches to modeling itch and the itch pathways.
- Identify clinical studies on itch therapies.
- Understand techniques, supplements, and approaches that may improve itch.
