Abstract EN
Pruritus is a frequent symptom in many dermatological diseases.
In this review we want to focus on not only itch problems specific to women, namely, pruritic vulvodermatoses, but also the specific pruritic dermatoses of pregnancy.
The specific characteristics of the vulva and the hormonal changes during the different age periods make these dermatoses very particular.
It seems that vulvar diseases are still underdiagnosed and undertreated.
Pruritic vulvar diseases have a huge impact on quality of life.
The most common pruritic diseases will be discussed, such as atopic and contact dermatitis, psoriasis, lichen sclerosis, lichen planus, and infectious vulvaginitis.
We focus on the diagnostic issue of these diseases and will consider the general principles of therapy.
