Can't Resist the Urge to Scratch Your Itchy Skin?

You’re not alone. Whether it’s from a mosquito bite, chicken pox, or a chronic skin condition like eczema or psoriasis, the urge to scratch can be overwhelming. While scratching may temporarily ease itching, too much scratching can cause breaks in the skin that may result in infection.

Itch Relief

No amount of scratching will stop the itch from returning. If you find yourself scratching to the point of distraction, or so much that you're damaging your skin—which can allow bacteria in—you’ll need to find strategies to stop the itch. To help soothe itchy skin, experts recommend the following tips:
