Pruritus, one of the most often unpleasant sensationon on the skin, was originaly formed as a defensive mechanism. Dermatologists

meet it in every day practice and for its therapy they need to have the knowledge of differential diagnosis skin diseases connected with

itching as well as the knowledge of internal and psychiatric diseases with pruritus. The therapeutic palete of pruritus is wide according to

etiology and not always efficient enough for us and for our patiens. It is the challenge for the further research of neurophysiology of

pruritus and for searching other pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic possibilities for its control.

Keywords: pruritus, neurophysiology of pruritus, clinical picture, local therapy, general therapy, psychotherapy.
