What is pruritus characterized by?

Moisturizing of the skin
Severe itching, usually on undamaged skin
Skin peeling
Skin tightening

The correct answer is: Severe itching, usually on undamaged skin

Pruritus is a skin condition characterized by severe itching, usually on undamaged skin. This itching can be caused by a number of factors such as skin dryness, allergies, or skin irritation. Moisturizing the skin (choice A) may help to relieve symptoms of pruritus but it is not the defining feature of the condition. Skin peeling (choice C) is not a characteristic of pruritus and may indicate another condition such as eczema or psoriasis. Skin tightening (choice D) is also not a characteristic of pruritus and may indicate a different skin condition such as scleroderma.
