Pruritus, commonly known as itching, is an uncomfortable sensation on the skin that provokes the urge to scratch. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including dry skin, allergic reactions, infections, or systemic conditions like liver disease. In a clinical context, pruritus can be a symptom of underlying dermatological or systemic issues, and its management often requires addressing the root cause.
