itching

Itching - known as pruritus - is an uncomfortable irritation of the skin that causes a desire to scratch the affected area. It is a very common symptom and may affect any area of your body. You can often see a rash or a spot where it occurs.

Itching may occur over your whole body or only in a particular location. It can be due to many causes, from sunburn or insects, to a fungal infection or an allergic reaction. It can also be linked to more serious conditions such as thyroid diease, diabetes, kidney disease, liver disease and iron deficiency.
