Excerpt from book: Section 3CHAPTER VI. PRURIGO* Prurigo is a disease attended with intense itching, often without any eruption, but sometimes accompanied by a scattered eruption of slightly-raised flat and broad papulae, almost the colour of the skin. Often it is impossible to discover the papulae without the use of a lens, and at times the touch alone can detect them. The itching is increased by stimulants and anything which tends to heat the surface or cause perspiration. It is always most severe when the body becomes warm on retiring to bed; and, in mild cases, this is the only time the symptoms are perceived. From constant scratching the skin is torn, and thickened serum and blood escape and form a black or browncrust on the summit of the papulae; when this falls off it leaves a brownish mark. Other names-Pruritus (Latin); Intertrigo (Lorry); Exormia prurigo (Mason Good and Young); Kvijo./ioc (Greek); Psore papu- leuse, Pruret (French); das Juckten (German); Morbo prurito (Italian). When the itching resembles the sensation of an insect crawling, or the bites of ants, it is called Prurigo formi- cans, and is a very obstinate variety. Prurigo, which is a common affection with the old, is often accompanied by aetheromatous patches, and is then called Prurigo senilis. In this variety the papula; are very large. When it occurs in young persons, it often assumes a mild form, the itching being but slight, and there being little or no eruption, it is then called Prurigo mitis; this may last from a few hours to a few days. The feet, thelegs, the hands, and the shoulders, are its most frequent seats. All cases accompanied with itching without an eruption are called Prurigo. Various local names, as P. podicis, P. scroti, P. pudendi muliebris, P. praeputii, P. urethralis, P. pubis, are given to intolerable it.
