Body itching or pruritus refers to an unpleasant sensation that gives you a strong urge to scratch your skin. Body itching can be localized or generalized in nature and even occur in areas that are not accompanied by a rash or lesions in the body that can be seen.
At Homeo Care Clinic, we also consider both external and internal causes of itching and provide gentle homeopathic treatment that helps your body heal naturally.
What Is Body Itching?
Itching on the skin is the experience of feeling an urge to scratch the skin, and scratching the skin relieves the itch. Some skin conditions can result in visible skin redness or rash, but the skin can look normal while having an itch, especially in situations involving reason for whole body itching and no rash on the skin.
Body Itching Symptoms
Itchy skin can cause the following:
- Itchiness that is chronic or episodic, in any place on the body
- Feeling of dryness or irritation beneath the surface of the skin
- Itching at night and in still air
- Sleep disruption due to the drive to scratch
- In some cases, scratch marks and/or thickened cutaneous lesions appear after repeated scratching.
Early identification of these signs may assist in controlling the itching before it turns into a chronic condition.
Common Causes of Itch on the Body
There is no single reason for itching. Itch may be triggered by various reasons. The reasons for the body itching are important to understand for proper treatment.
-
Dry Skin
One of the most common reasons behind eczema would be the drying out of the skin, which happens when the skin gets exposed to low moisture in the environment, true especially in the course of the winter season.
-
Allergic or Irritant Reactions
Such things as soaps, perfumes, fabrics, detergents, and even cosmetics can be irritating to the skin, causing itchiness. Even allergies can result in itchiness, with redness and small lumps
-
Internal Conditions within the Body
In some cases, itching may be an indication of an underlining problem within the body. Such examples include liver disease, renal failure, thyroid problems, or blood disorders. These may result in itching without necessarily causing an outbreak.
-
Night Itching
Night-time itching may be caused by reduced levels of a natural anti-inflammatory hormone, dehydration of the skin during sleep, and changes in body temperature, which tend to heighten the experience of itching during the stillness of the night.
-
Seasonal Triggers – Winter Itching
Cold and dry air in the winter dries the skin and leads to the breakdown of the protective layer of oil on the surface of the skin. As a result, the itch becomes more pronounced. Itch is commonly reported during the winter season.
When Whole-Body Itching Occurs Without a Rash
Many have pondered over the following: whole body itching but no rash – there is no presence of lumps or redness. The following are the possible causes of this condition:
- Xeroderma, dry skin, or systemic dryness
- Hormonal Imbalances
- Side effects of medications
- Internal conditions like imbalance in the liver or kidneys
- Nutritional Deficiencies
All the above forms of itching can occur even in the absence of observable symptoms
