A member asked:
I have continuous itching throughout my body. could this be related to my allergies?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes, could be: Itching is a feeling produced by the effect of histamine, a chemical released by allergy cells called mast cells. Most of the time there is an allergy associated, but it might also be not specific (eg cholinergic urticaria). Rarely, itching can also be reported as a manifestation of condition affecting terminals of the nervous system in the skin.

Absolutely: Skin is the largest organ in your body. It is often the first organ to manifest an allergy.
