Abstract
Hell's itch is a neurocutaneous dysesthesia following sunburn that is underreported in scientific literature despite considerable discussion online. 'Hell's itch' describes an acute, uncontrollable itch with intense stabbing pain several days post-sunburn and often follows an inciting event such as water exposure. Here, we present a case of Hell's Itch in a 24-year-old Caucasian male and a subsequent mechanism proposal.
