Start with: liberal moisturizing to ensure the itch is not from dry skin (very common). If you have an allergic asthma component, then you may also have allergic rhinitis related to pollens, oral allergy syndrome related to pollens or even atopic dermatitis (eczema) affecting the chin. I virtual consult or visit with an Allergist will help to differentiate the possibilities.

Smart girl: Is this truly a question? If so, you are absolutely correct! Asthma flares will indeed cause an itchy chin! Seen this many times. You are not crazy, but very observant. Why? Who knows! But seems control of asthma (not scratching) relieves it. Use your rescue inhaler and start up your controllers-see the action plan your doc wrote out for you. See an allergy asthma specialist (i'm from IL).
