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?
You’re getting a lot of good answers, but the most likely reason is just that your skin is dry. Try taking cooler showers, and put coconut oil or similar on your skin after the shower.
Or even taking fewer showers. So many people shower daily with out actually sweating or getting dirty at all, destroying their natural skin barrier. Both taking fewer showers and also moisturizing, inside by drinking water, and outside with lotions or creams is the ticket for most people.
