lactic acid and Pruritus

lactic acid has been researched along with Pruritus in 13 studies

Lactic Acid: A normal intermediate in the fermentation (oxidation, metabolism) of sugar. The concentrated form is used internally to prevent gastrointestinal fermentation. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
2-hydroxypropanoic acid : A 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is propanoic acid in which one of the alpha-hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group.

Pruritus: An intense itching sensation that produces the urge to rub or scratch the skin to obtain relief.

"We analyzed the relationship between the frequency of response at each sensation (stinging, burning, and itching) during a lactic acid sting test and the current perception threshold (CPT) value of each frequency."3.83Itching sensation and neuronal sensitivity of the skin. ( An, SM; Ham, H; Kim, HO; Koh, JS; Lee, E; Lee, EJ, 2016)
