 You must first find what is causing the itchy sensations. Itching could be the result of a variety of reasons such as allergies to food, plants or pets, insect bites, stings, skin disease or even poor hygiene. Itching can be annoying as the skin is irritated and gives you the constant need to scratch the affected area. Constant or repeated scratching can bruise the skin, making it sore and even painful. Itching could be generalized where in the whole body is affected or localized wherein a particular area is irritated. Diet can play an important role to combat itching that result from food allergies. If you have identified foods that cause itching, its best to avoid them completely. Increase your intake of Vitamin C, beta carotene, Vitamin E and zinc through diet by having foods rich in the above mentioned vitamins and minerals. Consult a dermatologist to know what is causing the itchy sensations and the best treatment for it.
