Oh, How itchy!
We are used to the itching. However, sometimes itching can be as strong or persistent that it becomes a nuisance.
Itching is an unpleasant sensation of the skin.
To relieve ourselves, we scratch. But be careful not to scratch too much, because we can irritate the skin and even cause injuries that can get infected.
Itching is a reaction that takes our body to something that produces an alteration or allergy.

When you have very annoying itch often, spread throughout the body, and you do not know what the reason is; you must get a medical test to know what the cause is.
Maria, from the itching rock group, has itchy legs also, because she has dry skin. It happens especially in the winter, when it’s cold outside and the heating of the houses reduces the moisture. In these cases, the skin dries out and can get irritated and inflamed. The best thing to do is to drink water and hydrate it. Oatmeal baths also help to soften the skin..
The generalized Pruritus tends to be stronger at night. Do not stay too long in the shower, the water should be warm and you should use a small amount of soap.
It is essential to keep the skin hydrated. The pharmacist will advise you.
