简要总结
Lichen simplex chronicus is a chronic pruritic condition characterised by areas of thickened skin caused by habitual itching, scratching and rubbing of the skin. The standard prescription consists of topical corticosteroids applied once or twice daily but response is usually slow and partial. However in clinical practice it was found that itch-based multiple times application of high potency topical steroids led to reduction in total duration of treatment and thus the total cumulative dose. An itch-based application breaks the itch-scratch cycle and also leads to habit reversal and thus resulting in much better clinical outcome.
