A member asked:
Does skin itch when you lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not: Generalized itching has many causes, but weight loss usually isn't one of them. Thyroid disease, iron deficiency, and gall bladder or liver disease are some causes of itching that could be related to excessive weight loss.
