Pruritis, or the itch sensation, is a by-product of almost all skin disorders. however, we can itch without having a skin disorder. itch then can be local or central in our bodies. where is it postulated that a central "itch center" exists?

I don't think there are any with concrete evidence

Explanation:

There are all theories that aren't proven yett

If we talk about the icht center, it is postulated that it is in a brain region called the somatosensory cortex.

Explanation:

This somatosensory cortex is a part of the brain in which stimuli sent to neurons can be interpreted through signals received by the brain

This cortex is located in a part of the brain to which it is located in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe.

In this part of the brain, the information that has to do with touch, the location of our body in space, pain and temperature is processed.
