Ref.:
Itching
From: Ryan
T., Oxford, UK
Dear
Salvatore,
This
has been an interesting series. Please
add that itching being subjective the only objective measurement is of
scratching. Psoriasis was
once designated a non itching condition but this has changed since researchers
have recognised the varied use of the term itching and the varied
objective response.
If
there is no sign of scratching it is probably "soreness" or
some other "feeling". If it is scratched it is
certainly itchy.
Best
regards,
Terence
Ryan
