Advice for a Constantly Itchy Skin
19.03.2008 от M.VQUESTION: I am annoyed by a constantly itchy skin, that sometimes drives me
to distraction
I am a clean person, and am sure there are no critters
causing my problem, but there must be some advice you can offer me to reduce
my torment, and make life livable.
ANSWER: I am sure you are a meticulous person, but since there are many
causes to a persistent itch, it still may be worth while for you to have a
check up to try to determine some physical cause
Doctors label an itch like
this with the term “pruritus”, and know it may be caused not only by
“critters” but by allergies, parasites and both skin and internal diseases,
but a dry skin is the most common reason
However, there are a few tips I can
offer you that can help reduce the problem, no matter the cause
If dry skin
is the main problem, maintaining a healthy level of moisture in your home will
help, particularly if you live in warm, dry climates, or in a heated apartment
in winter
A humidifier will be of great comfort
Reduce your bathing
habits, as frequent showering with harsh soap can aggravate the condition, as
can the use of water that is too hot
A lukewarm shower, followed by the
application of a moisturizing body lotion is indicated
Stay away from tight
fitting clothes and cotton fabrics may be kinder to your skin than wool or
synthetics
Dry your skin with pats of your towel, instead of vigorous
rubbing
Although it may seem impossible to fight the urge to scratch,
realize that you can injure your already delicate skin if you do scratch hard
with jagged or roughened fingernails
Last, but sometimes the most effective
measure, is to change your laundry detergent to a mild soap, that is less
likely to cause irritation, and to assure that all laundered clothes are well
rinsed
These are all effective actions you may try for yourself, but a
physician’s diagnosis and available medical treatments may result in
completely ridding yourself of this raging itch.

the counsel and advice of your personal physician
Promptly consulting your
doctor is the best path to a quick and successful resolution of any medical
problem.
