Skin Itching — Which Doctor Should I See?

Skin itching can result from dry skin, allergies, insect bites, eczema, psoriasis, infections, medications, or underlying medical conditions like liver or kidney disease. Environmental factors like heat and irritants also trigger itching.

Consult a doctor if itching lasts more than two weeks, is severe, disrupts sleep, covers large body areas, or is accompanied by rash, fever, or other symptoms. Also seek help if home remedies don't provide relief.

Use moisturizers regularly, take lukewarm baths with oatmeal or baking soda, wear soft clothing, avoid irritants, use fragrance-free products, apply cool compresses, and maintain humidity. Avoid scratching to prevent skin damage and infection.
