Many people tend to ignore medical issues until they progress into something serious. Take for example, a persistently itchy skin. It’s only a minor thing when you think about it, but there could be worse underlying medical causes that should be attended to as soon as possible to reduce damage.
Dermatographia
When you lightly scratch your skin, do your fingernails leave thin, raised red welts that take 15 to 30 minutes to disappear? If so, you may have dermatographia. This is an extreme skin condition where your skin is sensitive to touch and releases too much histamine. Areas of touch and clothing are the most susceptible to dermatographic flare-ups.
Kidney Disease
People with late stage kidney disease or those who suffer from chronic renal failure experience an intense itch all over the body. Doctors suspect that the itch has to do with the build-up of toxins in the body which the kidneys are not able to remove from the bloodstream.
Spinal Disease
An itchy upper middle of the back without a rash may be a sign of neuropathic itch, a symptom of nerve malfunction. According to studies, spinal disease can apply pressure on the nerve and pinch it, which leads to an itchy sensation on the skin.
Lymphoma
Blood disorders such as lymphoma can also cause your skin to itch. According to experts, five to ten percent of lymphomas such as Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s can present with itch, most likely caused by cytokines which trigger inflammation in response to infection.
Thyroid Disease
People who have thyroid disorders, particularly those who are hypothyroid, usually have dry and itchy skin. It might be that the changes in their sweat glands due to the absence of the thyroid hormone, cause skin dryness.
Menopause
Women on their menopausal period experience having dry skin which often leads to itchy skin. This is caused by reduced estrogen production. Estrogen is vital in the production of collagen, which keeps the skin well-oiled and elastic.
Paget’s Disease
Paget’s disease of the nipple is a condition where scaly, red, itchy patches develop around the nipple and areola. This condition accounts for less than 5 percent of all breast cancer cases in the U.S., according to the National Cancer Institute.
It might not be easy to identify the true cause of your itch. The best way is still to consult a doctor, particularly a dermatologist, if the condition lasts for more than two weeks or if the itch affects your entire body, has prevented you from functioning effectively, or if other extreme symptoms occur.

Dr okosun herpes treatment is one of the most effective home remedies for herpes which has the ability to kill the herpes virus permanently. I found out I had herpes 4 years ago. My first outbreak was definitely the worst thing I ever experienced. The bumps and blisters were swollen and red. I had a doctor give me Valtrex but I take the generic. I had to take the Valtrex 1 gram a day for about a week and I had another doctor prescribe me Acyclovir but that gave me the worst headaches ever, so I stopped taking it.after 2 year all that prove abortive the herpes was still there,
Since I was first diagnosed I have about 2 outbreaks a month. I have been able to cope with this by having supportive family and friends who look out for me,though it wasn’t easy for me, one day i read a post by someone testifying about Dr okosun that she was cured totally using his herbal product, i decided to gave it a try, I contacted him as instructed in the testimony. i made request for the herbal medicine, he actually did send it to me and gave me the instruction on how i will use it,
The good news is this, i went to the hospital after the medication for test as instructed by Dr okosun, i was tested negative, i was surprised finding out that am now herpes virus negative against my former result which was positive, Am happy to let the whole world know that today am free from this herpes disease,
no more outbreak, no more cold sores, excruciating pains, i will advice anyone reading this message and needed a cure for herpes as well should please contact this Great Dr okosun on drokosun55@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2348124363791.
