This is a Learning Mode case study focusing on a 13-year-old female presenting with a
two-week history of generalized pruritus (itching). The case is designed to teach the
systematic approach to evaluating a common but potentially complex dermatological
complaint in an adolescent. The challenge is to differentiate between primary

underlying systemic disease.
