A member asked:
Is it normal for a 4 year old to scratch her self ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on details: Every person surely has scratched himself or herself, and likely will scratch again the next time an itch happens. Scratching is the normal response to itching. However, sometimes it is better to practice mind-over-body and avoid over-scratching. We know that for itchy skin, over-scratching leads to more skin itching and rash, which in turn leads to more scratching.
