Abstract
We report a 19-year-old woman with the associated disorders of generalized pruritus, hypertrichosis and anorexia nervosa, all of which had been present for approximately 4 months. Psychotherapy induced both weight gain and resolution of the pruritus. We propose that anorexia-associated pruritus be considered one of the important cutaneous signs in anorexia nervosa.
