Why does the skin itch in the evening? Is it the result of mistakes in daily hygiene? How should I proceed? Will changing the cosmetics used help relieve itching? The question is answered by the drug. Anna Mitschke.
Why does the skin itch at the end of the day?
Good day. My name is Jarek, I am a 40-year-old forester from the Bieszczady Mountains. My skin has been itchy for about 3 years. Initially, my biggest problem was with my hands. As evening approached, I had the feeling that a pack of red ants was walking on my forearms and they were biting me. However, after about 3 months, the itching stopped. Just one evening, I suddenly stopped scratching.
Unfortunately, after a year, the itching reappeared. Worse, the pain is even more unbearable than it was before. When it gets dark, I feel as if some damned vermin are starting to crawl around on my hands and bite again. Please help. What could it result from itchy skin in the evening? Is it my fault? Could it be due to poor hygiene? I work in the forest all year round, I often have contact with various animals and insects. Sometimes I wear sweaty clothes for too long. When the itching started, I gave up shower gels and only wash myself with gray soap.
Please help as I feel like I’m going to go crazy soon with this itch. I tried to heal myself with various home-made ointments, but nothing helped. I would be grateful for any indication of what to use and what not to use. Greetings to the entire editorial office. Jarek.
The doctor advises why the skin itches in the evening
Itching is a persistent condition that triggers the urge to scratch. Frequent scratching causes mechanical damage damage to the skin – bite marks, sometimes with reddening and peeling of the skin. The etiology (origin) of pruritus is diverse.
Dry skin as a consequence, the feeling of itching is aggravated by a dry, warm climate, frequent hot baths, the heating season and high temperature in the rooms, use of air conditioning. Usually, in the case of pruritus accompanying dermatological diseases, characteristic skin lesions also develop.
- In the care of itchy skin with seborrheic dermatitis, we recommend, among others. EPTA DS scalp and body spray, which is available separately or in the EPTA DS Complex Skin and Hair Care Kit for seborrheic dermatitis.
Scabies can cause itching. Symptoms usually worsen when the body heats up, for example after a bath. This increases the activity of the scabies that live in the skin. Scabies are mainly found in the groin, between the toes, and in the folds of the skin. Atopic dermatitis is a common dermatological disease with pruritus in the clinical picture.
- Allergic rash – everything you need to know about it
In the event of contact with an allergenic allergen, skin changes occur – atopic eczema. Sometimes itching may be a symptom that preceded the appearance of the disease. This is the case, for example, in the course of bullous pemphigoid and cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. It may be one of the first symptoms of a systemic disease.
Pruritus is one of the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia. Then the supplementation of the element usually causes the symptoms to subside. Chronic kidney disease patients often experience generalized pruritus. Especially those requiring hemodialysis.
Pruritus may appear as one of the symptoms of diabetes, in liver disease, in diseases of the nervous system or in cancer. It can be a symptom of mental and emotional disorders. Sometimes it is a side effect of medication. Persistence of pruritus symptoms should prompt the patient to see a doctor.
- Natural avocado oil Bioherba can be used externally on itchy skin, which you can buy at a favorable price on Medonet Market.
I suggest going to the GP or directly to the dermatologist. The doctor, after collecting a complete history and examining the patient, will decide on further proceedings. If necessary, he will order the necessary diagnostics and implement appropriate treatment.
