Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

The answer to your question is yes, I have heard and seen neurogenic dermatitis.

Neurogenic dermatitis is concerns as a diagnosis when other causes of dermatitis are excluded clinically and by proper tests.

Thisis an entity related to divisions of nervous system: central ( neurogenic pruritis) and peripheral nervous system related dermatitis ( brachioradial pruritis, notalgia paresthetica, postherpethic neuralgia and anogenital pruritis)

Neurogenic dermatitis entities have in common pruritis ( itching), besides other features.

There is need for an elaboration of your symptoms and if possible a picture of dermatitis area in order to have a more accurate diagnosis about your concerns.

So, if you like to share more information about your concerns, I'll be happy to help you further.

Best regards.
