Pruritus or Itching

What can we do against the itching?

The first thing to do when you have a lot of itching is to be careful when scratching ourselves, because we can cause injuries to ourselves.

When the Pruritus is caused by a mosquito or a bee bite, the contact with a nettle or any items that we know, we have to clean the area to remove the cause of itching. The pharmacist will advise us which medication we can use to relieve the itching.

When you have very annoying itch often, spread throughout the body, and you do not know what the reason is; you must get a medical test to know what the cause is.

Maria, from the itching rock group, has itchy legs also, because she has dry skin. It happens especially in the winter, when it's cold outside and the heating of the houses reduces the moisture. In these cases, the skin dries out and can get irritated and inflamed. The best thing to do is to drink water and hydrate it. Oatmeal baths also help to soften the skin..

The generalized Pruritus tends to be stronger at night. Do not stay too long in the shower, the water should be warm and you should use a small amount of soap.
