Abstract

The prevalence of itch is higher in individuals with darker skin types. In this paper, we review the systems involved in the physiology of itch and how they may differ across the races. Current data point out that the differences may be explained by barrier function, mast cell physiology, and itch receptor polymorphisms.

摘要

瘙痒的患病率在肤色较深的个体中更高。在本文中，我们回顾了参与瘙痒生理学的系统，以及它们在不同种族中可能存在的差异。目前的数据表明，这些差异可能可以通过屏障功能、肥大细胞生理学和瘙痒受体多态性来解释。
