Itch Management

Itch management involves identifying and addressing the causes of skin irritation to reduce the urge to scratch. This can include using moisturizers to keep the skin hydrated, applying medications like antihistamines or corticosteroids to calm inflammation, and avoiding irritants or allergens that worsen the itch. Techniques such as gentle skin care, keeping nails short, and distraction methods can also help. Managing stress and maintaining overall skin health are important. If the itch persists or worsens, consulting a healthcare professional is advised to determine underlying conditions and receive appropriate treatment.
