Abstract
Itch is the most common symptom in dermatology. Understanding itch causation requires knowledge of cutaneous receptors, inciting factors, and behavioral influences. Studying itch can be done using both in vitro and in vivo methods. Understanding the molecular basis of itch may provide therapeutic targets for alleviating this most troubling dermatologic symptom.
