Pruritus, a frequent complaint heard by family physicians, is a complex physiological phenomenon mediated by histamine and other peptides. It is associated with a number of common dermatologic diseases but has significant psychological factors as well. In some patients pruritus may be an important marker of systemic disease. Diagnostic approach includes a careful physical examination of primary skin lesions and goal-directed laboratory tests. Careful skin care and oral antihistamines are basic measures to alleviate pruritus.
瘙痒是家庭医生经常听到的一种主诉，是一种由组胺和其他肽介导的复杂生理现象。它与许多常见的皮肤病有关，但也有重要的心理因素。在一些患者中，瘙痒可能是全身性疾病的重要标志。诊断方法包括对原发性皮肤病变进行仔细的体格检查和有针对性的实验室检查。仔细的皮肤护理和口服抗组胺药是缓解瘙痒的基本措施。
