Itching

Overview

Itching is an uncomfortable sensation on the skin that often leads to scratching. While it can be temporary and harmless, persistent or severe itching may require medical attention to address underlying causes.

Signs of Itching

Itching may be accompanied by these additional symptoms:

• Redness or irritation on the affected area.
• Dry, flaky, or cracked skin.
• Bumps, blisters, or rashes.
• Swelling or inflammation.
• Open sores caused by excessive scratching.

Potential Causes

Itching can result from a wide range of factors, including:

• Allergic reactions to food, medications, or skincare products.
• Chronic skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis.
• Infections, such as fungal or parasitic infestations.
• Systemic conditions like liver disease, kidney disease, or diabetes.
• Environmental factors, such as dry air or exposure to irritants.
