Dr. Wang Xiaoyan
The main manifestation of skin itching symptoms is paroxysmal severe itching, which may occur all over the body or be localized to specific areas such as the arms, back, legs, etc. Patients often scratch frequently due to the intolerable itching, leading to secondary skin damages such as scratch marks, blood crusts, and pigmentation. In addition, symptoms such as redness, swelling, dryness, and scaling of the skin may also occur, particularly worsening at night or during temperature changes and emotional stress. These symptoms not only affect the patient's quality of life but may also impact their mental health. Therefore, timely medical consultation is necessary upon the occurrence of skin itching symptoms to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
