1. Introduction Intense itching inside the nose is a common but not entirely normal physiological state, most often signaling an acute allergic reaction or environmental irritation. This sensation, clinically known as nasal pruritus, is driven by the release of histamine and the subsequent stimulation of the trigeminal nerve endings embedded in the nasal mucosa. While … Read more
