At first glance, itchy skin poses no health hazard. But when it becomes intrusive and gets worse day by day, the quality of life deteriorates markedly. In addition to the fact that itchy skin causes irritation and nervousness, itching can be a symptom of developing dermatological disease, so it is very dangerous to ignore this problem.
The main causes of itchy skin can be the following:
- scabies;
- psoriasis;
- dermatitis (allergic, fungal, inflammatory, etc.);
- diseases of the kidneys, liver and biliary tract;
- diseases of the nervous system and mental disorders.
Itchy skin also occurs in people with dry skin. Due to the fact that the cause of itching can be various diseases, diagnostics by a dermatologist takes a lot of time and can be quite difficult, and the treatment depends on what exactly caused the itching.
Causes of itchy skin
Itchy skin can be caused by a wide variety of factors, ranging from mechanical effects on the skin to various infections and bacteria.
Itchy skin of the feet is most often caused by a fungus. Itching of the feet skin in 99% of cases is associated with fungal diseases due to visiting public recreation areas (baths, saunas, swimming pools). Infection with fungus can occur in any public place where you have to take off your shoes (pool, beach, shower in the gym).
Skin itching and flaking can be caused by the following conditions:
- hormonal disorders;
- allergies;
- insufficient secretion of sebum;
- liver or kidney disease;
- development of diabetes mellitus;
- proctitis;
- neurodermatitis;
- allergies.
But whatever the cause of itching may be, only a dermatologist should deal with the diagnosing and selection of treatment, according to the diagnostics results.
