Do you feel itchy and an unrelenting urge to itch? Do you feel itching in your back and do not reach this place?
It is often difficult to determine or explain the reason for this. This may be an elementary cause, but it can also be a symptom of a more serious skin lesion, such as a rash or disease.
Start with the simplest solutions. Try a different fabric, take care of your skin and avoid anything that you think might cause itching. If this does not help, talk to a doctor who will examine you for advice and prescribe appropriate treatment.
Maybe your skin is dry
If your skin is dry, it often leads to unpleasant itching. Exacerbations are more common in winter, when the air in the room dries out. As you age, your skin also dries out more often and faster.
To reduce itching caused by dry skin:
After bathing, use a moisturizer while your skin is still wet, and also change clothes more often.
Drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.
Use a humidifier.
Take a short shower and don’t use too hot water.
Use a mild moisturizing soap.
Is there a rash in itchy areas?
If you have an itchy spot and you notice redness or a rash, most likely the problem is in your skin. This can happen due to:
Fungal and bacterial infections such as impetigo and folliculitis.
Insect bite: When you are bitten by a mosquito or spider, you usually know it. Flea and tick bites are more difficult to diagnose because they look like a rash. Mosquitoes can cause a feeling of swelling and severe itching.
Eczema or atopic dermatitis: dry, scaly dandruff or purulent rashes on the skin. It’s not clear what causes it, but itching is very common. Children are more likely to suffer from asthma and allergies in their family. Eczema can worsen due to certain food allergies. These places are very itchy.
Contact dermatitis: This itchy rash is caused by a reaction to something that touches your skin. You may have to do detective work to find out the reasons for this. It can be metals in your jewelry or chemicals in cosmetics, toiletry and cleaning products. Stop using or wearing what you think may be the cause and check for itching.
Could it be a skin surface or an internal body problem?
A person’s skin often reflects if something goes wrong inside the body, so itching can be a sign of deeper problems in the body.
Urticaria: this is a form of allergy. Protruding areas appear on the skin that are isolated or merge into groups, and usually itch. It is caused by stress, heat, exercise or being in the sun.
Psoriasis: a chronic recurrent disease that affects the skin and (in severe cases) joints. This happens when the surface skin cells begin to multiply too quickly. The skin looks as if it is covered with scales, which sometimes hurts, and red spots remain on the back of the head. Men and women get sick the same way.
