A 60-something woman with skin so itchy it caused her to scratch until she created lesions finally found relief from using cannabis.

According to a April 9 case report in the journal JAMA Dermatology, the woman experienced unrelenting itchy skin, called chronic pruritus, for 10 years.

She told the doctors who penned the report that her stomach, arms, and legs itched the most and she tried various treatments like steroid creams, nasal sprays, and phototherapy to treat her condition.
