Hello, everyone’s skin condition is unique. Some individuals have more sensitive skin and may experience itching due to external stimuli. Indeed, there are many potential causes of pruritus (skin itching). When itching occurs, it is essential to carefully observe the skin’s surface for associated signs or symptoms. If the itching is caused by an allergic reaction, antiallergic medication is typically required. Additionally, maintaining proper cleanliness and hygiene of the affected skin area is crucial during care. I hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
