Itch and psychological factors

Assessment of itch, stress and the itch–scratch cycle.

How is the relationship with stress assessed?

Stress can influence itch intensity and scratching. However, itch should not automatically be attributed to a psychological cause. Skin disease, medicines and other medical causes require appropriate assessment.

An integrated approach to follow-up

The consultation covers sleep, daily life, emotional factors and scratching habits. The role of psychological factors is established clinically. Dermatological care and mental-health support can be coordinated when appropriate.

Diagnosis, treatment and follow-up

We provide diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. Your treatment plan is tailored to the dermatological examination and any investigations needed.

This content provides general health information. Diagnosis and individualized treatment require a medical assessment.
