Why are girls particularly ticklish?

We often encounter such a problem in our daily life. It doesn't matter where in the body the skin becomes itchy and we just can't stop itching. Scratching doesn't work, and some female friends even scratch their skin until it bleeds, which is really a big problem. At this point, many women realize the need to seek professional help. However, some girls do not have any physiological or pathological problems, but they are very afraid of itching. So, why are girls very afraid of itching?

Girls are very itchy because their skin is delicate and sensitive to external factors, and they react more obviously when exposed to irritation.

What are the causes of skin itching?

There are many causes of skin itching, which can be simply divided into four categories: skin infection, dryness, infection, or itching caused by underlying diseases. The most common cause of itching is skin allergies. For example, children's inflammatory skin disease often causes extremely itchy skin, and even skin allergies that lead to poor sleep and eating. Seborrheic dermatitis often causes itching of the hair and face in very elderly patients. Housewife's eczema, coin-shaped eczema, lichen planus, drug allergies, urticaria, etc. are all itchy diseases caused by skin infections.

Dry skin is also one of the root causes of itching all over the body.

With the increase of age, the sebaceous glands will gradually decline, often causing the skin's ability to replenish water to plummet. In mild cases, the skin will become dry and flaky, and in severe cases, it may even crack and bleed, especially in the lower limbs. Dryness itself will cause itching and discomfort. Because the winter climate is cold, the so-called winter itch caused by dryness is more common. This kind of itching caused by cracking should avoid taking a bath in too hot water, and use moisturizing lotion as appropriate to improve the symptoms.

Therefore, when the skin is itchy and turns yellow, you should go to the hospital to check your liver and gallbladder to see if you have gallstones. Clinical medicine has found that skin itching may occur when the calcium and phosphorus levels in your blood are too high. If the skin is dry at this time, and is accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, inability to hold urine, low back pain, or even watery urine, or less urine, you should consider the possibility of chronic kidney disease.

Generally, when chronic nephritis patients enter the uremia stage, they often suffer from systemic itching due to the increase of urea toxins and protein in the blood. The most common type of skin itching is itching without a primary rash.

Clinical medicine has found that pruritus is a neurological dermatosis and a skin neurosis disease. Traditional Chinese medicine calls it "itchy wind". The most common skin itching is usually caused by dry skin. You can take cod liver oil pills, multivitamin tablets, etc. The use of medication must be diagnosed and guided by a specialist. Do not take medication blindly, especially those containing hormone drugs.

The causes of skin itching are mainly the above aspects. Therefore, when treating it, we must first find the cause of the disease (such as internal organ disease), and then eliminate factors that may aggravate it, such as scratching, scrubbing, a large amount of skin cleansing liquid, limiting the intake of alcohol, strong tea, coffee and irritating food, keep the private parts clean and dry, and then cooperate with appropriate treatment and external application of medicines.

In addition, you should also ensure that your daily life is regular, get up early and go to bed early, and exercise moderately. Adjust clothes in time to avoid hot and cold stimulation. Patients with systemic itching should pay attention to reducing the frequency of bathing. When bathing, do not wash the skin too much with your hands and do not use alkaline soap. Underwear should be made of cotton fabric, which should be loose and comfortable to prevent friction. Release mental stress, prevent anger and anxiety, and strengthen confidence. Actively find the cause of the disease and eliminate the causing factors. Quit smoking, drinking, strong tea, coffee and all spicy and irritating foods, and add appropriate amount of fat in your diet. Here, I would like to remind female friends that if the skin in some parts of the body becomes itchy for unclear reasons, do not take measures on your own. Be sure to go to a reliable dermatology hospital for examination to avoid causing greater harm and unnecessary inconvenience.
