Abstract

These results indicate that pruritus prevalence is high in patients with scalp psoriasis, and pruritus considerably influences the patients' daily lives and quality of life. In addition, high IENF density in psoriatic scalp lesions may play a role in the development of pruritus in scalp psoriasis.
