Itching instinctively leads most people to scratch the affected area. Different people can tolerate different amounts of itching, and anyone's threshold of tolerance can be changed due to stress, emotions, and other factors. In general, itching is more severe if the skin is warm, and if there are few distractions. This is why people tend to notice itching more at night.
Itching can be all over (generalized) or only in a particular location (localized). The most common localized itching includes Pruritus ani, Pruritus vulvae, and Pruritus scroti - Eczema of scrotum.
  • Generalized itching - Itching that occurs all over the body may indicate a medical condition such as diabetes mellitus, liver disease, kidney failure, jaundice, thyroid disorders (and rarely, cancer). Blood disorders such as leukemia, and lymphatic conditions such as Hodgkin's disease may sometimes cause itching as well. Some people may develop an itch without a rash when they take certain drugs (such as aspirin, codeine, cocaine); others may develop an itchy red "drug rash" or hives because of an allergy to a specific drug. Itching also may be caused when any of the family of hookworm larvae penetrate the skin. This includes swimmer's itch and creeping eruption caused by cat or dog hookworm, and ground itch caused by the "true" hookworm.
  • Localized itching - Specific itchy areas may occur if a person comes in contact with soap, detergents, and wool or other rough-textured, scratchy material. Adults who have hemorrhoids, anal fissure, or persistent diarrhea may notice itching around the anus (called "pruritus ani"). In children, itching in this area is most likely due to worms. Intense itching in the external genitalia in women ("pruritus vulvae") may be due to candidiasis, hormonal changes, or the use of certain spermicides or vaginal suppositories, ointments, or deodorants. It's also common for older people to suffer from dry, itchy skin (especially on the back) for no obvious reason. Younger people also may notice dry, itchy skin in cold weather. Itching is also a common complaint during pregnancy.
There are many causes of itching. These include:
  • Insect bites
  • Dry skin
  • Contact dermatitis (poison ivy or poison oak)
  • Contact irritants (such as soaps, chemicals, or wool)
  • Atopic dermatitis
  • Rashes (may or may not itch)
  • Childhood infections (such as chicken pox or measles)
  • Aging skin
  • Allergy caused by food or drugs (antibiotics)
  • Superficial skin infections such as folliculitis and impetigo
  • Pregnancy
  • Hepatitis
  • Iron deficiency anemia
  • Parasites such as pinworm
  • Pityriasis rosea
  • Psoriasis
  • Seborrheic dermatitis
  • Urticaria
  • Drugs such as antibiotics (penicillin, sulfonamides), gold, griseofulvin, isoniazid, opiates, phenothiazines, or vitamin A
SYNONYMS Pruritus
