Make the Diagnosis: Leg Itch That Persists

(MedPage Today) -- Case Findings: A 48-year-old woman asked her dermatologist about several red lesions that were extremely pruritic. They were scattered haphazardly on the back of her leg. A few of the lesions were still smooth nodules, but others were now excoriations; she just couldn ' t stop scratching them no matter how hard she tried. She estimated they had been there for nearly a month. She had a history of atopic dermatitis, but this didn ' t feel like the same thing. Can you diagnose the patient?
