Possible causes of itchy skin include:
Dry skin. If you don't see a crop of bright, red bumps or some other dramatic change in the itchy area, dry skin (xerosis) is a likely cause. Dry skin usually results from older age or environmental factors such as long-term use of air conditioning or central heating, and washing or bathing too much.
Skin conditions and rashes. Many skin conditions itch, including eczema (dermatitis), psoriasis, scabies, lice, chickenpox and hives. The itc...more

Dear mam, cancer arises from cells within out body. The cells become uncontrolled and autonomous and cause symptoms like lumps, bleeding, ulceration, abnormal weight loss, fever, altered bowel habits etc. These symptoms may be due to other diseases as well but only if they continue for a long period like over a month or so, seek medical advice.

Thanks for the query. Chickenpox recovers in 7-10 days. I would suggest you to - avoid going out as it is contagious until all the scabs fall.
Take bath using cool water or lukewarm water. Do not scratch the blisters. You can apply calamine lotion. Over-the-counter medicines can help relieve symptoms such as fever and itching.
Hope this helps you.

Leprosy thus has a long incubation period which makes it difficult for the patient as well as the doctor to determine the exact time when the person got infected.

Causes and origin:
Many psychoanalysts are of the opinion that women who had been victims of sexual assault or any kind of male aggression are more prone to androphobia. An unsympathetic and rude father figure can trigger this phobia in both the sexes. Many young girls are taught by their ...more
