A member asked:

Ever since little, can feel all my skin hairs push against my clothes & flip back & forth-- and it itches like mad. any way to un-itch hair movement?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Itchy hair: sometimes itchiness may not be due to the hair but the surrounding skin being irritated. I would try to use a soap with extra moisturizers and also put on lotion like Aveeno (oatmeal) or Cedaphil to give your skin extra lubrication. Also wearing looser fitting clothing might help avoid pulling hairs and the itchy feeling
