Itching is that particular sensation that leads to scratching to relieve discomfort and get relief. If itching is particularly severe, scratching can cause skin damage.
Itching is rarely a permanent pathology, it often goes away on its own or if linked to a skin disease, it can be cured with specific treatments. It affects all parts of the body, it can be diffuse, generalized or on the contrary partial, localized.
When it is short and less than six weeks, it is called acute itching. If, on the other hand, it exceeds this period, it is defined as chronic itching. Caution; when itching is persistent and particularly annoying, it can be a symptom of the appearance of specific skin diseases.
The causes, specifically, that lead to itching and therefore to the urge to scratch in a frenetic way, are various and different from each other.
Among the main causes:
· Dehydrated and dry skin
Dermatitis (atopic and contact)
Hives.
If, on the other hand, the itch is in precise and limited areas, the itching can be:
· An insect bite
Psoriasis
Scabies.
Other inflammations where the itching is localized at the point where the rash occurs can be:
Chickenpox
Measles
Acne
Itchy skin can also be induced by allergic reactions. The most common allergies are due to drugs, foods, animal and / or insect bites and stings. Other causes may be due to increasingly frequent systemic diseases such as:
Hyperthyroidism
Hypothyroidism
· Diabetes.
Itching can occur as a result of stress, depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, and various forms of psychosis.
On the border between the two layers that make up the skin, dermis (deepest layer) and epidermis (superficial layer), there are the nerve endings that send the urge to scratch to the spinal cord.
The itching crisis is triggered especially in the evening at bedtime or during the night, in the warmth of the bed and in sleep. At first the itching is minimal, then it gradually worsens.
