Life’s an itch sometimes….am I right? Pruritus can pick apart the fabric of one’s life as both a symptom of a primary skin disease or even as a disease unto itself. While so ubiquitous in dermatology, it had been so out of focus for far too long, but forsaken no more thanks to some of our wonderful colleagues dedicated to putting a pause on the picking. The current sitch is we have a plethora of data and expert guidance on how to manage itch (yes, I am a lyrical genius). And who better to share said insight, experience, blood sweat and scratches than the wunderkind of pruritus, University of Maryland’s Chair of Dermatology and Director of the Itch Center, Dr. Shawn Kwatra. Tune in as podcast host Dr. Adam Friedman purposefully pushes Dr. Kwatra to the outer limits of pruritus management with both topical and systemic options alike. Pick up some new approaches to working up and even managing the dreaded itch without rash while at the same time scratching your head wondering “what are these two on?”
