Answer: Neurodermatitis is distinguished by pruritus (itchiness) and often patches of lichenified (raised and rough) skin on the nape of the neck. This condition affects more women than men and is usually triggered during a stressful period in the sufferer’s life. The nape of the neck becomes itchy and is rubbed or scratched, resulting in an abrasion of the skin and disrupting the lipid balance. The affected area then becomes dry and so susceptible to pruritus, which in turn encourages scratching. A catch 22 situation is created and without treatment, this condition will progressively worsen.
