Why do scabs itch when they're healing?
542147
The scabs that from over the injured skin irritate the tiny nerve endings.

A dog likes to scratch, we know that. \n\nWhen they feel their stomach being scratched (and they're not scratching it) the moving leg is a residual/ghost response..........like they would be doing if they WERE scratching themselves.\n\nWhen someone tickles us or scratches our backs for us we usually have the urge to "help them out"......but it's more like a "leaning into it"  or a retreat response.

You could have a skin condition called "eczema".That would explain the itching and dryness.That might explain the problem with the sweat too.The scaly skin could be so thick that it's covering your pores/effecting your sweat glands somehow.

Have to see,  did you get into something?  If it does not go away go see a DR. Could be scabies could be an elergic reaction to something you got into - Try taking BENEDRIL for the itch and if it doesn't go away then see a DR.

Because our genetalia, being on the outside of our bodies, shifts and moves about as we go through our day.  Occasionally it will become positioned in such a way that is uncomfortable or painful and must be repositioned.  A gentleman will make the necessary adjustments privately.  As for scratching, bacteria grow in the the sweat of our groins which can cause our skin to itch.  Again, a gentleman will scratch in private.  You will probably notice that most public grabbers and scratchers are younger and have not come to accept that thier behavior is not appealing to others, especially women.

Someone who itches all over should seek medical care. Because itching can be caused by such a wide variety of triggers, a complete physical exam and medical history will help diagnose the underlying problem. A variety of blood and stool tests may help determine the underlying cause.

We don't itch ourselves, we scratch ourselves.  And it is to relieve an irritation.

This is what I found on the site listed below:\n\n"Pets become infested with a different kind of scabies mite. If your pet is infested with scabies, (also called mange) and they have close contact with you, the mite can get under your skin and cause itching and skin irritation. However, the mite dies in a couple of days and does not reproduce. The mites may cause you to itch for several days, but you do not need to be treated with special medication to kill the mites. Until your pet is successfully treated, mites can continue to burrow into your skin and cause you to have symptoms."\n\nSo the answer to your question is yes they can have scabies, but a different type.

Because when they bit you they inject a fluid that helps thin the blood so that as they are suck your blood wont clot. and your body tries to fight the "venom" and that is what makes it itch

The oil that naturally comes from skin is disrupted in a scar or keloids. So it dries out and itches.

This is a itchy inflammation of the skin, characterized by dry, scaly, and thickening.  Stress and tension can increase the itching.  Normally treated with corticosteroid creams and maybe anihistimines.  Sometimes your doc may even prescribe a patch with the meds in it so it decreases the scratching

the reason our skin itch sometimes is due to the effect of our own body immune system against antigen (foreign body not recognize by our immune system). \nWhen antigen enters our body through skin, it is detected by Langerhans cells beneath our skin and triggers our immune system to release histamine to eradicate the antigen, and the histamine secretion is the reason why our skin feel itch sometime.

It could be a symptom of Hepatitis or something called Lichens Planus (I think I spelled that right). Make and appointment right away to see a Dermatologist so you can be properly diagnosed and hopefully get some medication to get rid of the itch. The longer you wait and the more you scratch, it could leave really bad scars that can take up to 2 years to fade away.

an itch is somewhere in your body that you want to scratch really very much. Itching can be caused due to allergy to certain types of foods, medicine, moquitoes, sunlight or warm weather in general.

It's because of the scab. It is just like dry skin. The old skin dries up and new grows underneath.

They itch because your body is reacting to a chemical the mosquitoes inject into your skin to keep you from feeling them suck your blood. As for stopping the itching, I've always had good luck with After Bite - http://www.tendercorp.com/afterbite.html

From the link below:\n\nThe average human body is covered by about 20 square feet (2 square meters) of skin. Skin is the only organ that is constantly exposed to potential irritation. And, with so many things coming into contact with your skin daily, you're bound to get an itch or two. Serious itching can be caused by allergies, disease, emotions and infections, but let's take a look at what causes the common itches that aggravate you everyday. \nItching, also known as pruritus, starts with some kind of external stimuli, including bugs, dust, clothing fibers and hair. Like tickling, itching is a built-in defense mechanism that alerts your body to the potential of being harmed. In this case, it might be the potential of being bit by a bug. \n\nWhen the stimuli lands on your skin, it may not bother you at first, but soon it will begin to rub back and forth across your skin. Once the hair or dust scratches your skin's surface layer, receptors in the dermis of the skin will become irritated. In a split second, these receptors send a signal through fibers in the skin to your spinal cord and then up to the cerebral cortex in your brain. \n\nThe same fibers that send itching signals are also used to send pain signals to the brain, which once led some scientists to believe that itching was a form of light pain. That notion has since been dispelled by research, which showed that pain and itching elicit opposite responses. Pain causes us to withdraw and itching causes us to scratch. \n\nAs soon as we feel an itch, our first natural response is to scratch the spot of the itch with our fingernails. The reason for this response is simple -- we want to remove the irritant as soon as possible. Once you've scratched the area of irritation, you are likely to feel some relief. When your brain realizes that you've scratched away the irritant, the signal being sent to your brain that you have an itch is interrupted and therefore no longer recognized by the brain. \n\nEven if you don't remove the irritant, scratching will at least cause pain and divert your attention away from the itching. The irritant that caused the itching is very small, maybe only a few microns in length, so it disturbs only a few nerve endings. When you use your fingernail to scratch the spot where the irritant is, you not only remove the irritant but you irritate a lot more nerve endings than the irritant.
