Hello, generalized pruritus (itching all over the body) may be caused by urticaria—often accompanied by severe itching upon waking or just before bedtime; allergic reactions, which represent an abnormal immune response to allergens and can lead to symptoms such as skin redness and itching; eczema, characterized by papulovesicular lesions and associated pruritus; or diabetes mellitus, in which chronic hyperglycemia damages microvasculature throughout the body, resulting in pruritus. We hope the above information is helpful to you. Wishing you a pleasant and healthy life!
