Pruritus or Itching

The Monster of Itchy knows all the tricks in the world to produce itching. There are many. Including  the nerves.
Other very common causes are:

	insect bites such as mosquitoes, bees, the tobacco, etc
	sunburn,
	many skin diseases such as, dandruff or dry skin,
	some infections such as athlete's foot.
	The Monster of Itching is a little envious of the lice. These animals do know how to get us to scratch! Just they do not wear a cloak like him. ;-)
