Chronic Pruritus Due to Plaque Psoriasis

Brief summary

To assess the benefit of the Avène hydrotherapy in subjects with pruritic plaque psoriasis

Detailed description

* To assess the benefit of the Avène hydrotherapy in subjects with pruritic plaque psoriasis in the: * Improvement of pruritus * Improvement of psoriasis severity * Improvement of quality of life * Change of pruritus and psoriasis biological markers * Intake/application of treatments and skin care products for psoriasis and pruritus management, evaluated during a follow-up period * To assess the time to pruritus relapse evaluated in subjects with pruritic plaque psoriasis, during the period following the Avène hydrotherapy (for the hydrotherapy group only) * To assess the global efficacy of the Avène hydrotherapy in pruritic plaque psoriasis, according to subjects' and investigators' opinion (for the hydrotherapy group only) * To assess the global cutaneous tolerance of the Avène hydrotherapy in subjects with pruritic plaque psoriasis (for the hydrotherapy group only)
