Itching is a normal body response to protect us from harmful external substances or parasites such as insect bites. There are many possible causes but for some people with pruritus no obvious cause can be found. Pruritus may be localised to one area or generalised over the skin. Most common cause of itching is dry skin. It may also be caused by medicines or by internal diseases affecting the body. When pruritus occurs due to an internal disorder, we have to treat the disorder first as most of the time it will cure the itching as well. If the itching started after you started taking a particular drug, talk to your doctor for an alternative medicine. But if treatment is caused due to a skin condition, a skin biopsy may be necessary. Visit your nearest dermatologist as he may also suggest some blood tests to identify the underlying problem causing the itching. A cosmetologist can perform phototherapy and relieve you of the symptoms. The skin is exposed to an ultraviolet (UV) light for a set amount of time and it suppresses the immune cells which cause itching. A cosmetologists can help you further with this. Avoid scratching the affecting area, try patting instead. Avoid using any over the counter moisturizers for dry skin as they will provide temporary relief if they are not suitable to your skin type. Visit a dermatologist to know your skin types and suitable medications to get fast relief.
