Feeling itchy everywhere on the body

Feeling itchy all over the body may be caused by dry skin, allergies, eczema, urticaria, or neurogenic pruritus, and treatment should be based on specific conditions. Detailed analysis is as follows:

1. Dry Skin

Not drinking enough water regularly can lead to dry skin, resulting in generalized itching. Symptoms can be improved by increasing water intake and using hydrating and moisturizing body lotions.

2. Allergy

Individuals with allergic constitutions may develop redness, itching, and rashes upon exposure to allergens such as dust or willow catkins. Under medical guidance, medications such as loratadine tablets or cetirizine hydrochloride tablets can be taken for treatment.

3. Eczema

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition that causes dryness, swelling, pain, and itching of the skin. Symptoms may be localized or widespread throughout the body. It is recommended to follow medical advice and use medications such as hydrocortisone cream or Erfukang liniment to relieve symptoms.

4. Urticaria

Urticaria is an allergic skin disorder characterized by transient rashes and intense itching. The itching may occur anywhere on the body and may be accompanied by other allergic symptoms such as swelling and warmth of the skin. Under medical supervision, treatments may include compound betamethasone and camphor cream or calamine lotion.

5. Neurogenic Pruritus

Neurogenic pruritus is a type of neuropathic pain presenting as itching, not caused by skin abnormalities. This itching is often persistent and difficult to relieve, and may occur without visible skin changes. It may be related to dysfunction of the nervous system. Under medical guidance, treatments may include calcium gluconate injection or sodium thiosulfate injection.

Patients are advised to visit a hospital for evaluation and receive treatment based on their specific condition.
