Other prurigo is a skin condition characterized by intensely itchy, red bumps which can form anywhere on the body. it is caused by an overactive immune system which results in an excessive release of histamine, leading to inflammation and itching.
What happens during the disease - other prurigo
Other prurigo is a skin condition characterized by itchy, scaly, and/or crusty skin. it is believed that the condition is caused by an overactive immune system response to environmental triggers, such as certain chemicals, fabrics, or foods. the body mistakes the trigger as a foreign invader and produces an inflammatory response which leads to the itchy and scaly skin. other factors, such as stress and hormonal changes, may also contribute to the development of the condition.
