Symptoms of itching caused by lymphoma

Lymphoma is a malignant tumor with a relatively high incidence in my country. The early symptoms of the disease are relatively hidden. Many people ignore the early symptoms of lymphoma. By the time the disease is diagnosed, it has already reached the late stage of lymphoma. The treatment effect is often very poor, and people can only sigh in despair. Lymphoma can cause itching, which needs everyone's attention. So what are the symptoms of lymphoma itching? Here I will explain the symptoms of lymphoma itching in detail. I hope that through the introduction of this article, everyone will have a better understanding of lymphoma.

Lymphoma is a typical malignant tumor. Its main early symptom is swollen lymph nodes. Lymph nodes are distributed throughout the body, so swollen lymph nodes can appear in various parts of the body. Many people only know about the symptom of swollen lymph nodes, but do not know that lymphoma can also cause itching.

In fact, many types of lymphoma will cause itching, and itching often means that lymphoma has entered the late stage. So what are the specific symptoms of itching? It mainly manifests as varying degrees of itching under the armpits, soles of the feet, chest and back. Topical antipruritic drugs are not effective and will recur. If it is accompanied by swollen lymph nodes, you should pay more attention and go to the hospital for examination in time.

Literature reports that skin itching is closely related to malignant tumors. The cause of the occurrence is still under speculation. Some reports say that it may be because tumor cells produce substances such as histamine, which are transported to nerve endings with the flow of blood, stimulating the skin to cause itching symptoms.

In summary, lymphoma pruritus is a clinical manifestation of late-stage lymphoma, mainly manifested as itching of the skin under the armpits, soles of the feet, chest and back, and generally no obvious rash appears, and topical antipruritic drugs have no effect. If swollen lymph nodes are palpated, you must go to the hospital for a detailed examination. Lymphoma focuses on early detection and early treatment. Therefore, the skin itching caused by lymphoma is one of the manifestations of late-stage lymphoma and cannot be ignored.
