Unpleasant feeling when itching body in different places, whose causes are different, is a common complaint of people. In response to the itch, the body reflexively responds by scratching the skin and throwing off an irritating object. Itching is physiological and pathological. At the first - there is an adequate response to the stimulus, and at the second - the response with an altered reaction of the nervous system.

Etiological factors

Itching is considered a symptom-signal of a disease, and it is not a disease itself.   It is caused by the presence in the skin of nerve structures that react to any impact. For example, on temperature, touch, substances of chemical nature. And on the allergen, the body reacts with a large release of histamine into the tissue, which causes itching and inflammatory process. In addition, the body produces substances that inherently irritate the nerves on the skin, bilirubin with bile acids.

To determine the cause of itchy skin, blood and urine tests are initially performed. If allergies are suspected, modern laboratories provide a number of samples to determine the cause. Thanks to the latest equipment, the specialist will make an accurate diagnosis, which will facilitate the quickest recovery of the patient.

If, in addition to the itch on the skin, a rash is determined, then the reason for its origin will be helped by knowledge of simple samples: lightly press the fingers on the rash area and then remove them. When atopic origin of the site of the rash will be some time of a pale color, and if there is a skin disease, the rash does not disappear. However, this does not cancel the trip to a specialized medical institution. By the way, rashes are often symptoms of infectious diseases, such as measles, scarlet fever, chicken pox, acne and others. Scabies mites, also as a consequence of their vital activity, cause itching. The mite infects the upper layer of skin and leaves characteristic paired points in habitats. And the skin itches when it is dry.

If skin itching is characterized by allergies, the range of causes that caused it is very wide: the bites of a number of insects, the response to dust, some products, chemicals, cleaning products, drugs, even sunlight. At the same time there can be a urticaria passing during the day.

It should be noted, and chronic nosology skin integument. These include psoriasis. With this pathology, itching and other skin changes may appear on the skin, then go away and after some time may recur.

Pruritusbothering the whole body is considered generalized. The reasons most often are of an organ nature: it is the occurrence of serious diseases of the liver, blood, when the endocrine system changes, mental disorders of the personality.

To understand which cause causes itching of the skin, it is necessary to determine which particular area is most disturbing for the patient. Also, whether this is due to changes in temperature or humidity of the environment, what is the condition of the skin itself and the presence of any deviations in the human body as a whole.

In medical practice, the disease neurodermatitis is often found, causing a feeling of severe itching. Foci of the skin become at the same time lumpy. The skin begins to itch at the moment of stress and at night.
