Itch is the major source of morbidity in patients attending our clinics. Patients with severe and intractable itch are referred by dermatologists to the Itch Clinic. We aim to improve treatment of our patients suffering from severe and chronic itch through a holistic approach.

The scope of management of the clinic consists of the following conditions:

• Itch involving the whole body that is not due to an apparent underlying skin problem
• Itch involving a particular area of the body that is not due to an underlying skin problem
• Severe and chronic itch that is not responsive to treatment
