Scalp dysesthesia (SD), a variant of cutaneous dysesthesia syndrome is an underrecognized cause of scalp pruritus. It usually presents with itch, pain, burning, or stinging sensation over localized or diffuse area of the scalp without any objective findings. Trichoscopy, a rapid and in-office procedure, could aid in the early clinical diagnosis of this condition and initiate management. We report a case of SD in an elderly male diagnosed with the aid of trichoscope, evaluated and treated successfully.
头皮感觉异常(SD)是皮肤感觉异常综合征的一种变体,是头皮瘙痒未被充分认识的原因。它通常表现为头皮局部或弥漫区域的瘙痒、疼痛、烧灼感或刺痛感,且无任何客观体征。皮肤镜检查是一种快速且可在门诊进行的检查方法,有助于早期临床诊断该疾病并开展治疗。我们报告一例老年男性头皮感觉异常病例,该病例借助皮肤镜得以诊断,并成功进行了评估和治疗。
