A member asked:

Get itchy all over when grandma visits. she has dry skin but no itch. why do i?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If grandma is wearing a perfume or uses some other substance on her skin or to wash her clothing then those things can certainly make you itch. It is not really likely that you are allergic to her though.
