rewebster said:there you go, wolram--get rid of the itch by getting a wife
wolram said:No, getting rid of a wife is much harder than getting rid of an itch.
wolram said:rewbster, it is no big problem, i may get an itch once a month, having said that my ear has started itching and my nose.

binzing said:Dunno but my first grade teacher told us not to scratch our itches. Something about if we scratched one, then there would be another and so on.
The cause of an occasional itch can vary depending on the individual and the location of the itch. It can be caused by a variety of factors such as dry skin, insect bites, allergies, or skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis.
Yes, stress can be a contributing factor to occasional itching. When we are stressed, our bodies release cortisol, a hormone that can affect our immune system and make us more susceptible to skin irritations and allergies.
Scratching an itch may provide temporary relief, but it can also cause further irritation and even break the skin, making it more susceptible to infection. It is best to avoid scratching and find other ways to relieve the itch, such as applying a cold compress or using anti-itch creams.
Yes, there are several underlying medical conditions that can cause occasional itching, such as liver or kidney disease, thyroid problems, or certain types of cancer. If you experience frequent or persistent itching, it is important to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying health issues.
To prevent occasional itching, it is important to maintain good hygiene, moisturize dry skin, avoid harsh chemicals or irritants, and manage stress levels. If you have allergies, avoiding triggers and taking antihistamines can also help prevent itching. If the itching persists, consult a doctor for further advice and treatment.
