Itching — Which Doctor Should I See?

Itching can result from dry skin, allergies, insect bites, skin conditions like eczema or psoriasis, infections, medication side effects, or underlying health issues. Consult a doctor if itching persists.

Seek medical attention if itching is severe, lasts longer than two weeks, affects sleep, spreads widely, or is accompanied by fever, rash, or other symptoms.

Use moisturizer, apply cool compresses, take lukewarm baths, wear soft clothing, avoid irritants, and resist scratching. Over-the-counter creams or antihistamines may help mild itching.
