Notalgia Paresthetica

This patient presented to me with this pigmented itchy patch over the right infra scapular region. He had a neurological disorder with paresthesia extending to right finger tips. There is a report of successful treatment of this condition with Botulinum Toxin Type A. [Arch Dermatol. 2007; 143(8):980-982.]
