Itch cover

Offering details on the pharmacology of itch, techniques of itch evaluation, and neurogenic itch, this reference presents new concepts in the neurophysiology and central mechanisms of itch, animal models of itch, and processing of histamine itch in the human cerebral cortex. The text clarifies itch in systemic and skin disease, exploring renal itch, uremic pruritus, lichen amyloidosis and more.

"…useful not only for dermatologists and non dermatologists who treat itching, but also for neurophysiologists, pharmacologists, and all the medical and chemical community interested in Cosmetic Dermatology."
