Itch

Itch is medically known as pruritus. It is an irritation feeling on the skin that compels one to scratch. This is a problem that almost everyone experiences in his lifetime. Itch can either be restricted to one part of the body or may spread all over the body. Sometimes, itch gets worse at night. There are several causes that activate itch. These are: microbial infection, stings and bites of insects, dry skin, sun allergy and some chronic skin problems. Itch can be easily overcome with the application of creams and ointments containing chemicals like menthol, camphor or phenol. In some cases corticosteroid creams are also suggested to control the problem.
