What is itchy skin disease?

It is summer now and the weather is hot, so patients are prone to skin itching in their daily lives. Some patients may just have simple skin itching, but some patients may not only have simple itching, but may also be caused by other reasons, so you must pay special attention, otherwise the harm is very great. So what is skin itching disease?

1. The bile acid concentration is too high. When the concentration of bile acid in the blood increases, it will be deposited in the skin, causing severe skin itching. Therefore, when your skin becomes itchy and yellow, you should go to the hospital to check your liver and gallbladder to see if you have gallstones. Excessive calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood Excessive calcium and phosphorus concentrations in the blood can also cause itchy skin. If your skin is dry at this time and you have frequent urination, urgency, back pain, or even watery urine or little urine, you should consider the possibility of kidney disease. When patients with chronic nephritis enter the uremia stage, they often suffer from systemic skin itching due to the increase of urea toxins and protein derivatives in the blood.

2. Endocrine disorders. For example, patients with hyperthyroidism experience itchy skin due to accelerated blood circulation and increased skin temperature, especially after sleeping. Diabetic patients have increased blood sugar, which reduces the body's ability to defend against pathogens and makes them susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections, which can also cause itchy skin.

3. Central nervous system diseases. Patients with neurasthenia and cerebral arteriosclerosis often experience paroxysmal itching; patients with brain tumors often experience severe and persistent itching when the lesions infiltrate the bottom of the ventricles, and this itching is limited to the nostrils. Patients with certain lymphatic system tumors such as myeloid granuloma, Hodgkin's disease, or myeloproliferative diseases are often accompanied by systemic itching.

Through the above introduction, I believe that patients have a detailed understanding of the causes of skin itching. It is recommended that patients with more serious conditions should not apply ointments blindly or scratch too hard. The best way is to go to the hospital for a check-up to see if there are other diseases in the body. Be sure to pay attention.
