The occurrence of itching is usually very unpleasant for those affected. It is a general symptom and can be caused by various triggers. Accordingly, the localization of the itching and its severity also differ.
Itching is often associated with a strong need to scratch. Many causes are harmless, such as mosquito bites or skin irritation caused by care products or certain materials. However, skin diseases, such as scabies and psoriasis or diseases of the liver or kidney can also be possible triggers. Therefore, prolonged itching requires medical clarification.
