Ref.: Icthyotic changes in leprosy and pruritus
From: Jerajani H R,
Dear Dr Vijaykumaran,
I appreciate your deliberation on pruritus in leprosy (LML April 28th, 2009). I would like to add icthyotic changes in leprosy especially those taking clofazimine as one of the common causes of pruritus especially during winter season.
Subsiding leprosy reactions showing icthyotic dry scaly surface too give rise to itching.
Best regards,
Dr H R Jerajani
