Neurodermatitis is a skin condition that begins with an itchy patch of skin. Scratching makes it itch even more. The more you scratch the skin, the thicker and more leathery it becomes. Sometimes you develop several itching spots, mainly occurring on the neck, wrists, forearms, legs, and groin region.
Neurodermatitis is also known as lichen simplex chronicus. It is non-contagious. But itching is more and it disturbs sleep, sexual function, and quality of life.
CAUSES OF NEURODERMATITIS:
The cause of neurodermatitis is not accurately known, but sometimes it appears as a trigger for some irritation on the skin-something that irritates it, such as tight clothing, or a bite from an insect. The more you scratch, the more it itches.
In some cases, neurodermatitis coincides with other skin conditions: dry skin atopic dermatitis or psoriasis. Stress and anxiety also can trigger itching.
