Best Answer

Pruritus is an itch or a sensation that makes a person want to scratch. Pruritus can cause irritation and be frustrating. If it becomes severe, it can cause sleeplessness, anxiety, and depression. The cause of an itch may be unknown. It is a complex process involving nerves that respond to certain chemicals like histamine that are released in the skin, and the processing of nerve signals in the brain.
