The most prevalent sign of skin illness is pruritus, or itching, which is best described as an uncomfortable feeling that makes people want to scratch. Additionally, it may serve as the primary symptom of psychiatric and systemic illnesses.
The elderly population of South Korea is the main factor propelling the market growth. According to the most recent data, 14.9% of South Koreans are over 65, a percentage that is expected to rise quickly. Chronic skin problems, including pruritus, are more common in the elderly because of age-related physiological changes and a higher frequency of comorbidities including diabetes and kidney disease. Additionally, according to a research report by Astute Analytica, the South Korea Pruritus Therapeutics Market is likely to surge at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.50% over the projection period from 2024 to 2032.
Let's explore the pruritus therapeutics:
Treatment: The goal of treating itchy skin is to get rid of the itch's source. Personal doctor may suggest prescription medication or other therapies if home remedies are ineffective in relieving their symptoms. Managing the symptoms of itchy skin can be difficult and may need long-term treatment. Options consist of:
Additional ointments and creams
Other skin therapies include the use of calcineurin inhibitors, like pimecrolimus (Elidel) and tacrolimus (Protopic). Alternatively, topical anesthetics, capsaicin cream, or doxepin cream can provide them with some comfort.
Light therapy (phototherapy)
Phototherapy is the application of a particular kind of light to the skin. This may be a useful alternative for some who are unable to take oral medications. Several phototherapy sessions will probably be required until the irritation subsides.
Creams and ointments containing corticosteroids
The personal doctor could advise using an ointment or cream with medication applied to the irritated regions of the skin if it is itchy and inflamed. The treated skin can then be covered with a wet cotton cloth. Suction and cooling are two benefits of moisture on the skin.

Lifestyle choices and home solutions
Every day, moisturize: Treat afflicted skin once a day or more with a hypoallergenic, fragrance-free moisturizer (Cetaphil, etc.). Lotions don't work as well for dry skin as heavier creams and ointments.
Apply cool-and-calming creams, lotions, or gels to their skin: Itchy, irritated skin may temporarily improve with short-term use of over-the-counter corticosteroid cream. Alternatively, try topical anesthetics like pramoxine (for adults only), camphor, capsaicin, menthol (Sarna, etc.), or calamine lotion or creams.
Try using over-the-counter allergy oral medication: Certain over-the-counter allergy medications (antihistamines), such as diphenhydramine, can cause drowsiness. If their itchy skin keeps them awake at night, they might want to try this kind of medication before bed. Antihistamines don't relieve the itching that accompanies a case of shingles.
Getting ready for their scheduled meeting
Seeking their primary care physician first is probably the best course of action. Or a dermatologist, who specializes in skin conditions, can be recommended to them.
Here are some tips to help a person prepare for their visit and understand what to anticipate from their healthcare practitioner.
What individuals can do?
List their symptoms along with their onset and duration. Add to this a list of all the vitamins, herbs, and medications they take. Alternatively, bring the original bottles along with a printed list of instructions and dosages.
