Pruritus Clinic

The Pruritus Clinic offers consultative services to assist dermatologists in the evaluation and management of complex and refractory pruritic conditions. Our goal is to provide individualized therapy plans for the most severely affected patients, with a focus on improving daily functioning and quality of life. To this end, we maintain collaborative relationships with colleagues in immunology, neurology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, oncology, transplant medicine, nephrology, and pain medicine. The clinic follows a co-management model, in which the referring dermatologist remains involved in caring for their patient.
