Why is the whole body itchy?

Question 1: What is the cause of itchy skin all over the body? Many people often feel itchy skin in their daily lives, but do you know what disease itchy skin belongs to? Let's take a look at the experts in the dermatology department of Changsha 163 Hospital to introduce them to you. First, there are many patients with itchy skin caused by endocrine disorders, such as hyperthyroidism patients. Because of their accelerated blood circulation, the skin surface temperature will rise, which will lead to itchy skin, especially after sleeping. However, in addition to hyperthyroidism patients, diabetic patients can also cause itchy skin all over the body. Second, because the calcium and phosphorus in the blood are too high, the high concentration of calcium and phosphorus in the blood is also an important cause of itchy skin all over the body. Generally, this kind of patient has dry skin, frequent urination, urgency and low back pain. At this time, we should think about whether it is because of the kidney, and go to the hospital for physical examination in time. Third, if the whole body skin itches, it may be related to the liver and gallbladder, because the concentration of cholic acid is too high. When the concentration of cholic acid in blood increases, it will deposit on the skin, causing severe itching of the skin. So when the whole body skin is itchy, itchy and yellow, it depends on whether it is a liver and gallbladder problem. Fourthly, because there are many skin itching caused by central nervous system diseases, patients with brain tumors often cause severe and lasting itching when the focus infiltrates into the bottom of the ventricle, but this itching usually only occurs in the nostrils. The above is the related content of skin itching introduced by experts in our hospital. I hope I can help you.

Question 2: What is the cause of itchy skin? There are many reasons for skin itching, and the occurrence of skin itching is mostly related to many factors such as skin inflammation, dryness or internal diseases. The most common cause of itchy skin all over the body is skin allergy. When the skin has allergic reaction, it will cause itching because of skin inflammation. In addition, systemic skin itching may also be caused by endocrine disorders, liver and kidney diseases, malignant tumors and other chronic diseases and mental factors. In addition, if the skin is excessively cleaned, it will lead to degreasing and dryness of the skin, causing itching all over the body.

Question 3: What is the reason why the whole body itches easily? Experts pointed out that the weather is getting colder and colder, and more and more patients are consulting itching recently. How to do if the whole body itches easily? This is the most frequently asked question by patients. How is the whole body itching caused? Let's walk into the article and see how it is introduced. ? Most people think it is related to some diseases, such as diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease and so on. At the same time, it is also related to some external factors, such as cold, warm and chemical fiber fabrics. Skin itching can be divided into systemic and localized. The skin pruritus of patients with generalized skin pruritus was initially confined to one part, and then gradually spread to most parts of the body or the whole body. Skin itching is often paroxysmal, especially at night. Due to constant scratching, secondary injuries will occur, such as scratches, blood scabs, pigmentation and mossy changes. When the concentration of cholic acid in blood increases, it will deposit on the skin, causing severe itching of the skin. So when the skin is itchy and yellow, you should go to the hospital to check your liver and gallbladder to see if there are gallstones. Patients with neurasthenia and cerebral arteriosclerosis often have paroxysmal itching; Patients with brain tumors often cause severe and persistent itching when the lesions infiltrate into the bottom of the ventricle, and this itching is limited to the nostrils. For example, patients with hyperthyroidism, due to accelerated skin blood circulation and increased skin temperature, lead to itchy skin, especially after sleeping; Diabetic patients are susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections due to the increase of blood sugar, and their body's ability to defend against germs is reduced, which will also lead to itchy skin. Excessive calcium and phosphorus in the blood can also cause itchy skin. If the skin is dry at this time, accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, low back pain, or even urine like water, or less urine, we should think of the possibility of kidney disease. When patients with chronic nephritis enter uremia stage, due to the increase of urotoxin and protein derivatives in blood, it often causes itching of the whole body skin.

Question 4: The whole body itches. What happened? For the treatment of skin itching, western medicine mainly focuses on calming and relieving itching. If the skin is dry and itchy, remember not to scratch the affected area, so as not to scratch more and more, which will expand the scope.

Maybe everyone has had this experience. Sometimes, when you walk from a cold outdoor to a warm indoor, or take off your thick coat and lie on the bed before going to bed at night, the skin will suddenly itch and you can't help scratching, but often the more you scratch, the more you scratch, the more you itch, and the more you scratch, the more you itch, forming a vicious circle.

Moreover, scratching is likely to damage the skin and strengthen the skin's response ability. If you grasp it too hard, it may cause dermatitis or leave pigmentation and lichenoid sclerosis on the skin, which will be more difficult to treat.

So many times, if the itching is not very serious, try to endure it. Don't scratch casually. You can use some moisturizing things for dry and itchy parts. If itching is serious, you can also apply some antipruritic ointment/liquid medicine containing mint and other cool ingredients (such as calamine lotion, Saigeng cream, triamcinolone acetonide ointment, etc.). ) to relieve symptoms and make the skin gradually return to normal; Or local cold compress with a towel soaked in cold water can also relieve the symptoms of itchy skin.

For oral medicine, people with dry skin can take cod liver oil pills, one pill three times a day. Oral multivitamins (such as Shierkang and Shancun tablets) and calcium tablets also have a certain auxiliary effect on the treatment of itching.

When there are common itching symptoms, you can take sitamin and cetirizine without sedation during the day, and take chlorpheniramine, cyproheptadine and other antihistamines with sedation half an hour before going to bed at night. If the whole body itches, you can take anti-allergic drugs such as phenanthrene or cyproheptadine to relieve symptoms.

For external use, the situation is more complicated, and drugs need to be selected according to the different conditions of patients.

The skin on the face itches

Generally speaking, if the skin on the face is itchy, 4 ~ 6 layers of gauze soaked in 3% boric acid solution can be used to wet compress the face for about 1 hour, and then a thin layer of Elozon ointment can be applied once a day. This medicine for external use has the functions of astringency and skin care, and also has the functions of anti-allergy and relieving rash. It has no adverse effects on facial skin, and there will be no corticosteroid side effects such as facial skin atrophy and telangiectasia. In addition, all skin care products must be stopped during treatment.

Nape of neck, back, limbs, back of hand and instep.

If skin itching occurs on the back of neck, back, limbs, back of hand and back of foot, drugs such as Piyanping ointment, endless cream, antiallergic and antipruritic water can be used. This medicine has nerve paralysis, itching relieving and antiallergic effects, but it is also very strong on the skin. Because the stratum corneum in the above parts is thick, it can tolerate the slight adverse effects of such drugs on the skin.

Chest, abdomen, buttocks

Skin itching occurs in the front of neck, chest, abdomen, buttocks and limbs. You can choose calamine lotion and zinc oxide lotion. These drugs have soothing, protective, cooling and antipruritic effects on the skin. Because the stratum corneum in these parts of the epidermis is relatively thin, alcohol can't be used as a solvent, such as anti-allergic antipruritic water and piminting tincture.

Axillary, periumbilical, groin

Skin itching occurs under the armpit, around the umbilicus, in the groin and outside * * * * *, and compound miconazole soft cream, pevisone cream (also known as compound dakening cream), Fukang king cream, Baolongkang cream and compound Connollo cream can be selected. These drugs have antiallergic, antipruritic and antifungal effects. Because there are many skin secretions in the above-mentioned parts, the skin is often in a moist state, and when the skin in these parts is itchy, it is often accompanied by various types of fungal infections, so the above drugs are very suitable for the skin itching in these parts.

In addition, it should be emphasized that the medication information mentioned above can only be used as a reference. Whether it is for oral use or external use, my suggestion is to use it reasonably under the guidance of a professional doctor after diagnosis, because blind medication is likely to have adverse effects on the skin and produce side effects.

It is particularly important to note that when the skin is itchy, do not use some topical ointments containing hormones such as Piyanping, Wuji Ointment, Fusong and other corticosteroid ointments. This hormonal drug may have a good effect at first, and it can make some skin symptoms disappear quickly after application, but it is very likely that it will ... >>

Question 5: What causes skin itching? So when the skin is itchy and yellow, you should go to the hospital to check your liver and gallbladder to see if there are gallstones. Clinically, it is found that when your blood calcium and phosphorus are too high, your skin will also itch. If the skin is dry at this time, accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, low back pain, or even urine like water, or less urine, we should think of the possibility of kidney disease. Under normal circumstances, patients with chronic nephritis enter uremia stage, and due to the increase of urotoxin and protein derivatives in blood, it often causes itching of the whole body skin.

The most common skin itching refers to itching without primary rash. Clinically, it is found that cutaneous pruritus belongs to neuropsychiatric dermatosis and is a kind of cutaneous neurosis. Chinese medicine calls it "itchy wind". The most common skin itching is generally caused by too dry skin. You can eat cod liver oil pills, multivitamin tablets and so on. The use of western medicine must be diagnosed and guided by a professional doctor, and you can't blindly use drugs yourself, especially drugs containing hormones.

The causes of skin itching are mainly the above points, so we must first find out the causes (such as visceral diseases) when treating, and then eliminate the factors that may aggravate, such as scratching, scalding, cleaning the skin in large quantities, limiting drinking, strong tea, coffee, spicy food, etc., and keep the vulva clean and dry, and then cooperate with appropriate treatment and topical drugs. In addition, we must ensure the law of life, go to bed early and get up early, and exercise properly. Increase or decrease clothes in time to avoid hot and cold. Patients with systemic itching should pay attention to reducing the number of baths, and do not excessively scrub the skin and use alkaline soap when taking a bath. Underwear should be made of cotton, loose and comfortable, and avoid friction. Relax, avoid anger and anxiety, and build self-confidence. Actively look for reasons and eliminate inducing factors. Quit smoking alcohol, strong tea, coffee and all spicy foods, and increase fat in your diet.

Itching skin is also a disease. Many times, the symptoms of itchy skin indicate which part of your body has a problem, so everyone must pay more attention and find a treatment that suits them. Finally, I wish you good health!

Question 6: What is the cause of body itching?

The most common cause is itching caused by skin allergy. You can use Kangmei skin itching suit to treat it, and the effect is good.

Question 7: What is the reason for itchy skin? In winter, the climate is cold, skin metabolism slows down, pores are blocked, and sweat glands and sebaceous glands are in the lowest functional state. In winter, many people feel itchy in their limbs and bodies after taking a bath or sleeping. This is xerosis cutis, which is common in winter. Especially after taking a hot bath with a more alkaline bath at night, the itching symptoms are more obvious. Some people scratch at itchy places, and scratches will appear on their skin. Sometimes you can even see light brown patches. Itching is most common in the calf, forearm, back, waist and abdomen. After emotional excitement, temperature change, drinking or eating spicy food, itching can be triggered or aggravated. Dermatologists remind that bathing in winter should not be too frequent. People who love to take a bath should pay attention. The number of baths should be determined according to the endurance of your skin. It is not necessary to wash every day like summer. When taking a bath, try to choose neutral or alkaline bath or soap to avoid sebum being destroyed, making skin appear fish-scale plaque and causing itching. Many patients with itching symptoms report that itching is most obvious in legs, thighs, arms and back. The doctor explained that this is because the skin and blood vessels contract in winter, and the secretion of sweat glands and sebaceous glands is obviously reduced. Moreover, the secretion of sebaceous glands that moisturize the skin will decrease with age. Doctors warn people with less skin oil secretion that the bath water should be 3 degrees Celsius higher than the body temperature, that is, the water temperature should be controlled at about 40 degrees Celsius, and the bath time should not be too long, not to mention rubbing with bath utensils used for bathing in summer. Try to use weakly alkaline or neutral soap, shower gel, etc. And apply moisturizing cream all over the body after bathing. Drink plenty of water, wear cotton underwear, don't be greedy and spicy, and drink less. If the itching gets worse and the above measures are ineffective, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to see a dermatologist. Otherwise, severe cases will not only affect the rest, but even lead to lichen-like or eczema-like changes, which will lead to thickening and roughness of the skin and skin infection after scratching. How to protect skin in winter? Improve the cold resistance of the skin: we should strengthen physical exercise and enhance our own physique. Enhance your vitality and make your skin healthy and shiny. Be prepared for cold: the skin should be kept warm, because the cold north wind will not only dry the moisture of the skin, but also frostbite the skin tissue, make the skin edema and produce chilblain. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare winter clothes and pay attention to the increase and decrease with climate change. Choose skin care products suitable for winter: skin care products in winter should not only have moisturizing function, but also contain appropriate amount of oil to reduce the evaporation of skin moisture. Such as moisturizing cream, nourishing cream, hand cream, lip balm, anti-crack cream, etc. , can protect the skin and make it soft and moist. Pay attention to moisturizing: in addition to replenishing water, in a heated room, you should always sprinkle some water to keep the humidity of the air and prevent dry skin. At the same time, you should exercise more, strengthen blood circulation and sweat pulse secretion, thus improving the humidity of skin surface and promoting metabolism. Skin care: reduce the frequency of washing your face and prevent dry skin. Facial skin can be removed by facial mask, * * and scrub to prevent rough skin. Dry hands and feet can be soaked in warm water before going to bed, and then coated with glycerin and hand cream to prevent skin rupture. Generally speaking, when the human body lacks vitamin A, the skin is easy to dry, scales appear, and even peeling and cracking. It is advisable to eat more foods rich in vitamin A, such as pork liver, eggs and cod liver oil. You can also often eat sesame (sesame oil), soybeans, peanuts and other foods, which contain unsaturated fatty acids, such as linoleic acid. Collagen has the functions of moisturizing, firming and water locking, and can supplement foods containing more collagen, such as pig's trotters, beef tendon, chicken feet, cartilage, fish skin and so on. Usually, you should also add a lot of water and eat more fruits and vegetables. People who peel easily can eat more foods containing vitamin A, such as carrots, beans, green leafy vegetables, fish, liver, milk and so on. And eat more fruits and vegetables, because vitamin A can promote epithelial growth, protect the skin and prevent chapped skin, which has a good effect on preventing desquamation. You should also eat more fat and sugar foods appropriately, which can increase sebaceous gland secretion and reduce dry skin. It is best to choose skin care products containing calcium pantothenate, vitamin E, aloe and other moisturizing and skin care ingredients. Doctor's suggestion: 1. You can use antipruritic ointment containing mint and borneol to relieve itching, and don't use topical drugs containing hormones at will. 2. When taking a bath, you should choose a shower gel that is neutral or weakly acidic and does not contain chemical components such as essence, preservative and soap base.
