Lichen simplex chronicus, neurotic excoriation and nodular prurigo and their correlation with atopy: A case-control study
نویسنده
چکیده
Background: Lichen simplex chronicus (LSC), nodular prurigo (NP), and neurotic excoriation (NE) are considered as psychogenic pruritus disorders. Atopic dermatitis (AD) is also classified by some as a psychocutaneous disorder to point out the influence of psychologic factors in its recurrence, persistence and precipitation. AD and psychogenic pruritus share many common features including immunohistology, clinical course and their psychiatry. The aim of this assay was to study the correlation between psychogenic pruritic disorders and atopy.
