Answer:
Dear
Jacob,
It may be a food
allergy.
Probably the most
common cause of itch is psychological, that is, due to stress, and
anxiety. Stress also can aggravate itch from other causes.
Itching may be
caused by a skin disorder.
Common causes
of itching in healthy people are:
Contact with irritants
- such as chemicals or plants. Conventional laundry products contain
a range of chemicals that irritate skin.
Dry skin
Food or medication allergies.
Aging of skin.
Drugs and vitamin A
Healthy people
with a vitamin A imbalance also get itchy. High Magnesium may also
cause the release of histamine.
Keep your Phosphorus down and don't scratch.
The best natural
sources for phosphorus are nuts, seeds, cereal grains, meat, poultry,
and fish
Aloe Vera is an extremely good cure.
The use of cod
liver oil or vitamin E oil is also known to be beneficial when applied
to affected portions.
White foods like
bananas and litchis can help cure allergies and itching sensations
very well. Make them a regular feature of your diet.
