I guess I have just itched a lot for my entire life, so I just scratch and don’t really think about it. But it was recently brought to my attention by someone, and I realized that I am scratching constantly. Like all over my body. I’ll scratch my leg, then my head itches, then the back of my hand, then my cheek, then my arm, and so on and so on, every few seconds. I might scratch 10 or 20 spots within a minute. I think I might stop scratching if I’m really focused on something, but if I start thinking about my itching, then it just keeps happening. And like I said, I think this has been going on for my entire life, but I never really paid much attention to it. Is this normal?
Go get yourself tested at an allergists. It’s relatively cheap.
Dust mite allergies are extremely common, and dust mites are hard to see. They look like dust.
Whatever it is, it could be an environmental allergy.
One place I did JiuJitsu at had a guy with a specific type of soap allergy and it was being activated from other people’s Gi’s.
Yeah these days it’s literally just a blood sample and it tells you everything you’re allergic for. Everyone should do a test even if you don’t have problems right now it might save your life or at least make it easier at some point.
Really? I went to an allergist a couple of years ago, and she scratched me about 6 times with different things and looked to see how much it welted. Real old school.
