  What causes this skin disease isnt entirely clear. What researchers do know is that some people have a greater risk of developing this disease. […] While researchers have discovered that some people have an increased risk of getting neurodermatitis, what causes this disease is not entirely understood. It may be that this disease develops when nerves in your skin overreact. This could explain why neurodermatitis often begins when a person feels an intense emotion like stress, anxiety, or depression. These may cause a mind-body reaction. […] Dermatologists often refer to the above as triggers. This means that for the disease to begin, something must set it off (or trigger it).

• #4 Neurodermatitis: Causes, Symptoms, Treatment | National Eczema Association

  https://nationaleczema.org/types-of-eczema/neurodermatitis/

  Neurodermatitis is a chronic skin and itch condition that causes intense itching and scratching. The exact cause of neurodermatitis is not known or completely understood. Currently, scientists think that it is caused by overreactive nerves. Environmental triggers, such as an irritant in a cosmetic product or bug bite, or an emotional trigger, such as an intense emotion might cause an itchy feeling. This trigger then causes you to scratch, which leads to skin barrier disruption that exacerbates the itch-scratch cycle. […] Genetics might also play a role. Researchers have found significant differences of the gene TRPA1 in skin patches of neurodermatitis. […] Researchers are also studying whether neurodermatitis is caused by neuroimmune interactions on the skin. Neuroimmune interactions are what is commonly called a mind-body reaction. Skin contains many nerves that interact with your immune system. During times of stress and inflammation, the number of these nerves and their connections with the immune system increase, which can lead to an increased itchy feeling for the need to scratch.

• #9 Lichen Simplex Chronicus – StatPearls – NCBI Bookshelf

  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK499991/

  Lichen simplex chronicus is defined as a common form of chronic neurodermatitis that presents as dry, patchy areas of skin that are scaly and thick. The root of the disorder may be both a primary symptom, reflective of perhaps a psychological component or secondary to other cutaneous issues such as eczema or psoriasis. […] Several studies have linked lichen simplex chronicus to emotional factors, which often result in repeated and cyclic itching as a means to quell emotional disturbances or as a result of an intense need to scratch an area that studies show are subsequent to an emotional disturbance. The emotional stress causing the irritation and the urge to scratch at the skin is often cyclic, with the resultant plaques causing more stress and chronic itching, pigmentation changes of the affected skin, and a possible spread to larger areas. […] This is a largely pruritic disorder, though it can result from disorders of the skin barrier it also can be secondary to other dermatoses including xerosis, psoriasis, atopy, or others.

• #23 Lichen simplex of the scrotum

  https://dermnetnz.org/topics/lichen-simplex-of-the-scrotum

  Lichen simplex of the scrotum is typically secondary to an underlying skin condition or neuropathy causing extreme itch, such as allergic contact dermatitis. […] Lichen simplex of the scrotum is attributed to a persistent itchscratch cycle. Underlying pruritus, a cutaneous or systemic condition, or neuropathy or psychiatric disorder can induce intractable scratching that leads to hypertrophy of the scrotal skin. Contributing factors to scrotal lichen simplex may include underlying atopic dermatitis, another pruritic skin disorder (eg, psoriasis or lichen planus), contact with an irritant (irritant contact dermatitis) often triggered by heat, sweating, friction from clothing, or the excessive use of cleansers or topical medicaments, contact with an allergen (allergic contact dermatitis), cutaneous infection usually fungal in origin, generally either candidiasis or a dermatophyte fungus (tinea cruris), psychiatric disorder (eg, anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder), a benign or malignant skin tumour (eg, squamous cell carcinoma), localized neuropathic itch, or a systemic cause of generalised itch (eg, renal failure, obstructive biliary disease, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism, or Hodgkin lymphoma).

  In the case of neurodermatitis (also called atopic dermatitis), sufferers experience severe itching of the skin, whose condition is dry and scaly. […] Neurodermatitis is one of the most common skin diseases. It is a chronic condition that often progresses in episodes. […] Experts understand atopic disease or atopy as diseases in which the immune system reacts hypersensitively to normal environmental influences. […] Studies have shown that hereditary predisposition plays an important role. If you suffer from neurodermatitis, there may also be sufferers in your family. […] Science assumes that different genes on different chromosomes are responsible for whether a person has a predisposition to atopic dermatitis. […] In many patients, a gene that has changed in such a way that it inhibits the production of a certain protein plays a special role.

• #26 Atopic dermatitis – Wikipedia

  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atopic_dermatitis

  Many people with AD have a family history or a personal history of atopy. […] About 30% of people with AD have mutations in the gene for the production of filaggrin (FLG), which increase the risk for early onset of atopic dermatitis and developing asthma. […] People with atopic dermatitis also have decreased expression of tight junction protein Claudin-1, which deteriorates the bioelectric barrier function in the epidermis. […] According to the hygiene hypothesis, early childhood exposure to certain microorganisms (such as gut flora and helminth parasites) protects against allergic diseases by contributing to the development of the immune system. […] In a small percentage of cases, atopic dermatitis is caused by sensitization to foods such as milk, but there is growing consensus that food allergy most likely arises as a result of skin barrier dysfunction resulting from AD, rather than food allergy causing the skin problems.

  https://www.dadosens.com/en/advice/skin-related-topics/neurodermatitis

  Neurodermatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that is also known as atopic dermatitis or atopic eczema, and more rarely as endogenous eczema or Besniers prurigo. […] Many factors can cause neurodermatitis. Genetic predisposition plays a big role here. The probability of a child developing atopic dermatitis is 50% if one parent has hay fever, allergic asthma or neurodermatitis; if both parents are affected, that percentage increases to 75%. This predisposition leads to a disturbance of the skins ability to function as a barrier, causing the skin to dry out and become more sensitive. In addition, this disturbance of the barrier function allows substances and allergens that would not get past healthy skin to penetrate into the skin. […] The hygiene hypothesis provides another explanation for the genesis of neurodermatitis. It posits that in the modern world, peoples excessive hygiene measures keep them from being confronted with enough microbes, leading the immune system to react disproportionately to those it does encounter.

  Nutrition also plays a major role in the course of the disease. […] There are indications that a disturbance of the intestinal flora (also called microbiome) is partly responsible for neurodermatitis attacks. The majority of the immune system is located in the intestine and if it is not optimally populated, the immune system cannot work properly. Studies show that there is a change in the intestinal colonisation in people with atopic dermatitis. The good bacteria decrease and the bad bacteria increase. Accordingly, a healthy intestinal flora can help the disease to progress better.

• #32 Lichenification: Pictures, Symptoms, and Treatment

  Lichen simplex isnt a primary condition or disease, but rather a result of some underlying cause. […] The underlying cause is typically severe, chronic (long-term) itching, but is sometimes related to trauma to the skin, or severe anxiety or obsessive-compulsive behavior such as scratching or rubbing the skin over long periods of time. […] Repetitive scratching is one cause of lichenification. […] Lichenification most often results from a terrible cycle of itching and scratching, wherein scratching makes the itchiness worse. This causes you to scratch more. And the more you scratch, the worse your lichen simplex will get. […] Rubbing of the skin is another cause of lichenification. This can be due to a trauma that harshly rubbed the skin or severe anxiety or obsessive-compulsive behavior that may entail rubbing (or scratching) the skin over long periods of time. […] Conditions that lead to lichenification include: atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, bug bites, dry skin, stress, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, skin trauma.

  https://balmonds.com/blogs/blog/what-is-neurodermatitis

  Neurodermatitis is not your ordinary eczema, and has its own distinct symptoms and characteristics. In this blog, we look at what causes it and what can be done to soothe the infernal itch. […] The original cause of an itchy patch of skin could be down to all sorts of things: tight fitting or irritating clothes or shoes, an insect bite, or an injury for example. Sometimes a patch of regular eczema that is within easy scratching reach gets so scratched that the itch-scratch cycle of neurodermatitis is activated, so that even if the original eczema flare has subsided, the neurodermatitis remains. […] Whatever the root cause, with neurodermatitis the problem is in that itch-scratch cycle, where inflammation triggers itchiness, causing the sufferer to scratch, damage the skin, and in turn increase the itch impulse. The problem becomes chronic and is compounded by habit, and the skin ends up more and more damaged.
