What could cause severe itchiness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Itching: The first thing a physician does for itching is to take a careful history including asking about medications that may be causing the itch & examine the skin to find a cause like dry skin, skin conditions, infections, or reactions. If none can be found, a systemic cause could be causing the itching. Several lab studies to look for diabetes, liver disease, kidney or liver disease, and lymphoma etc
