Neurodermatitis is a condition that begins with an itchy patch of skin, which scratching can worsen. The itchiness from neurodermatitis is often so severe that it interrupts sleep and lowers quality of life. The skin becomes leathery and thick as a result of constant scratching. Several itchy patches may develop on the forearms, wrists, legs, neck, or anal region.
