Skin Itching and scratching can drive us up a wall. Itching is a common sensation, but for some, it becomes severe enough to interfere with daily life. Numerous factors contribute to persistent skin irritation, leading to discomfort and excessive scratching.
Dry skin, poison ivy, skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis (skin cell build-up), a bug crawling on the skin, malfunctioning nervous system (neuropathy), and other internal diseases (liver disease/kidney disease) can all cause itching. Insect bites, allergic reactions (food allergies) and so many other agents may trigger this itchy feeling as well. Seeking help from a dermatologist can be the first step in finding long-term relief.
