| Abstract: | This article offers a brief case study and overview of treatment options for patients diagnosed with brachioradial pruritus (BRP). BRP is characterized by localized itching on the dorsolateral aspect of the forearm or upper arm. Patients with BRP often report seasonal itching in late summer and into fall. Although the symptoms of BRP may be subjectively severe, the physical exam is often benign. The pruritus associated with BRP is often intense and frequently compromises the patient's quality of life. Treatment options vary and include both topical and oral medications. |
