9 Common Causes Of Itchy Skin
Do you know the causes of itchy skin? From your favorite perfume to that new brand of sunscreen, to the sunburn you get from avoiding the sunscreen - skin conditions have many triggers. Allergens could be the underlying contributor behind that itch, such as chemicals, or the histamines released when you have an allergic reaction. Scratching that itch may seem like the best solution to make it go away, but did you know it can actually make things much worse? Scratching isn't good for you because it stimulates the itch and could allow bacteria into the skin, leading to infections.
Learn the best itchy skin remedies and the proper treatment for a variety of skin conditions by checking out this article from Lifescript.com.com, a women's health information site, including what to do if you have any of the following conditions and irritants:
1. Dry skin - The most common cause behind itchy skin. Skin's cells separate, drying out the skin and leaving your skin feeling itchy.
2. Soap - Using this can strip your skin of oils it needs, leading to inflammation.
3. Eczema - Commonly affecting the eyelids, elbows, arms, legs and hands, eczema is a skin inflammation triggered by histamine in the body.
4. Sunburn causes inflamed and itchy skin as your skin heals its injury.
5. Fragrance allergy - You could react negatively to the chemicals in fragrance, causing itchy or inflamed skin.
6. Poison oak, ivy and sumac - These plants contain urushiol, a toxin that causes redness and itchiness.
7. Psoriasis - Commmonly affecting the knees, elbows, scalp and lower back, it's a genetic condition triggered by chemicals or allergens.
8. Hives - Brought on by stress, or an allergy to temperature, sunlight, insect bites, food or medications, hives can lead to itchy skin and bumps.
9. Dandruff - Caused by oils in some people and yeast in others, dandruff is an inflammatory condition of the scalp and sometimes the area between the eyes.
