Can someone explain to me how come my skin itchy all the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lots of causes: This is a difficult one to answer well in such a short space. There are many causes for itching from completely benign to concerning. Often dry skin is the cause the older we get. And we often put things on our skin that makes it itch. Certain medical conditions can have itch as a symptom. This really needs to be evaluated by your primary doctor and possibly a dermatologist to help figure it out.
