Q I live in Dong-gu, Incheon, and I've been losing sleep from itching every night. When should I come in for treatment?
A If the itching has repeated for more than two weeks or is severe enough to disrupt your sleep, it's best not to delay and to come in for an evaluation. We welcome patients from the Dongincheon and Dong-gu area, and for your first visit, it helps to note down when the itching started and what makes it worse. Basic tests can be done as needed to help identify the cause.
Detailed Answer
Ongoing poor sleep from nighttime itching negatively affects both quality of life and skin recovery. Keeping a record of when symptoms occur and their pattern greatly helps with identifying the cause during your visit.
