Scabies

Itch is detected by specialized nerve endings called pruriceptors, while pain is detected by nociceptors. Both types of sensory receptors are found in the skin and are responsible for detecting and transmitting signals related to these sensations to the brain.

An itch is a very slight form of pain from your nerves. There is usually something touching you and your body feels threatened by the contact, and so you itch to remove it from your skin.

In bites and stings it's because the nerves are stimulated by the poison/acid/alkali released into the bite.

Sometimes you may feel a 'Phantom' or travelling itch, when you can't quite tell where you need to itch. This is caused by random stimulation of the nerve, the cause of which is unknown

Itching ears can be caused by dry skin, allergies, infections, or earwax buildup. To relieve itching, you can use over-the-counter ear drops, warm olive oil, or consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. Avoid inserting objects into your ears as this can worsen the condition.

Yes, easy bruising can be caused by low iron levels in the blood. Iron plays a crucial role in the production of red blood cells, and a deficiency can lead to anemia, which can result in easy bruising. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment.

You scratch an itch!

An itch itches.

You scratch an itch to remove the pain.

Absolutely. It can be very painful and irritating. It can itch and burn while you urinate but it can also itch when you are not urinating. The itching can be extremely uncomfortable and seem almost unbearable and is generally fairly specific to the urethral opening (where you pee from). However, if you're at risk for sexually transmissible infections, and if you are experiencing painful urination and itching, ask your health care provider if you were screened for trichomoniasis at the time of your visit, and whether you had a urine culture done. If not, and if your symptoms don't improve within 48 hours of the start of treatment, see your health care provider for a follow up exam and to determine if additional testing is needed.

Although the holes are very small, jeans are actually porous. Small particles of feces are absorbed into your underwear and pants, and when you scratch that area, the particles are often transferred onto your fingers. Everything that you smell is actually a series of small pieces of what you're smelling entering your nostrils.

"Itch and scratch" in Fahrenheit 451 refers to the superficial pursuit of entertainment and distractions in the society depicted in the novel, where people are constantly seeking immediate gratification through mindless activities to avoid confronting deeper issues or thinking critically. It highlights a culture that prioritizes escapist activities over critical thinking and reflection.

It means that, if you're dealing with something annoying, why wait to get rid of it? Itches don't go away until you scratch them, and problems don't go away until you deal with them. So, figuritively speaking, scratch away!

...Unless your problem, of course, is Chicken Pox. Don't scratch if you have Chicken Pox.

Itching on your back could be due to dry skin, an allergy, insect bites, irritation from clothing, or skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis. Scratching too much can further irritate the skin, so try moisturizing, using anti-itch creams, or seeing a dermatologist if the itching persists.

Sudden itching in the back could be caused by various reasons, such as dry skin, allergic reactions, insect bites, or irritation from clothing or environmental factors. The itching might go away quickly if you scratch the area, but it could also disappear on its own if the underlying cause resolves itself. If itching persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it would be best to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Westies are susceptible to the same environmental affectors as we are. Therefore, keep in mind that certain weeds in the yard can affect your Westie as well as indoor things like mold and mildew. Do not wash your Westie too often as this can cause skin irritation. In extreme cases of discomfort, consult with your vet immediately. A good vet can prescribe a simple skin cream to help your Westie, or even an oral medication. Your Westie will reward you with years of love and appreciation.

Topically applied camomile lotion will soothe the itching and that should stop the main temptation for picking at bites, sores, ulcers and scabs. You can also buy proprietary anti-itching/irritation creams and ointments to do the same job.

Tea tree oil, as an oil or in soap, can fight infection to the same effect, as can witch hazel. Aloe Vera, as a topical gel or in soap, soothes and promotes healing, again helping to stop the need to pick at the source of the irritation.

If all that fails, you can apply something unpleasant to taste around (but not on top of) the wound. English mustard around the point will get on to the fingers and then almost invariably into the mouth - ouch! Aversion therapy.

If you are prone to insect bites, there are studies that suggest it is due to your pheromones - hidden smells your body naturally puts out. These can be short-circuited with various natural essences and oils or with artificial bug-repellent creams and sprays. Citronella, which has a lemony smell, can be bought as an oil and dabbed near to where you are most prone to bites, repelling many insects.

Think about a leach as a mosquito. As you know, both leaches and mosquitoes suck blood but what you probably didn't know was that a mosquito injects a disease into your leg when it bites. Now, usually right when you feel it bite you shoo it away. If you would leave it alone it would then suck out the disease that makes you itch. Leaches are the exact same way however their process is much much, much slower!
