Neurodermatitis: treatment and diagnostics

Neurodermatitis is a neurogenic allergic disease characterized by weak or strongly pronounced changes in the skin (rashes, darkening, coarsening, etc.) and itching. The term "neurodermatitis" was first used in 1891. They called scratching the skin due to itching. Later, all the rashes on the skin, accompanied by itching and chronic, with seasonal exacerbations, began to be called "neurodermatitis." Treatment in many cases is complicated by the fact that it is not always possible to establish the exact cause of the onset of this disease. Sometimes they can arise from neither, nor from this, and the patient has nothing to answer the doctor's questions. However, unlike children who have a disease mainly due to genetic predisposition or allergy to a product, in adults the main reason is most often the emotional state, i.e. Itching, which has arisen on nerves, is the neurodermite. Treatment (photo of the affected skin before it can be seen above) therefore should be conducted under the supervision of not only a dermatologist, but also a neurologist.

Symptoms of neurodermatitis:

• Severe itching, which occurs long before rashes;
• rash;
• Small nodules on the skin;
• Crusts and scales on the place of pruritus;
• Cyanosis or darkening of the skin;
• General malaise and apathy;
• Inflammation of the lymph nodes (rarely), etc.
