    The worst itch I've ever experienced was when I got an itch that feels like it's under my skin. It kept being itchy until 10 minutes afterwards where the itch finally subsides. It felt so annoying, I wanted to rip my skin off and scratch what's underneath just to feel relief

    I don’t recommend telling someone to stop scratching. I’ve had pretty severe eczema my whole life and growing up people would always tell me not to scratch and low key it’s rude and insensitive. Especially after trying to suppress the urge to scratch all day (because it’s already embarrassing.) I’ve definitely got heated with my family members/ coaches who would tell me not to scratch.

    The worst was when I had hay-fever my senior year of high school. My eyes felt like they had hundreds of microscopic mosquito bites inside them. After several days of not being able to sleep and rubbing all my skin off around my eye sockets, I put scorching hot water mixed with salt directly into my eyes to finally get some relief. It was the most satisfying searing pain because the itchy feeling subsided for a few minutes. I ended up abrading my cornea and scratched that so much, I abraded the abrasion and ended up tearing the inner membrane. I ended up having to wear a patch and take 4 different kinds of drops to try and heal my eye for a month. I still have a tiny scar inside my eye but luckily, I didn’t lose any of my vision.
    Itching can legitimately drive people to insanity and serious injury.

    When I was on some medication for mental health and such, I had a habit of intentionally skipping my medicine to trigger a temporary mania.

    There is literally NO WAY that lady scratched all the way to her brain without using some kind of tool to get through her skull. You can't just itch through your skull, it's definitely pretty thick bone, and pretty dense. It has to be cap lol, maybe to the skull but that's still pretty extreme, but much more believable

I now take taltz which is also an auto-inject shot but it is so painful. It works wonderfully but it hurts so bad. Dermatologists usually start with methotrexate which is a pill before starting shots but they skipped over that for me. I had melanoma prior to the shots and I've had it along with many dysplastic moles (not cancer but headed that way) that had to be remove. It's just another wonderful genetic mystery in my family.

    Fifty years of coping with itchy skin has led me to try many means of relief. My eczema can be maddeningly itchy but I cope with it by irrigating the skin with hot water, beginning at a low temp and gradually increasing the heat until pain overtakes the itch. This prevents the itch from returning for many hours. It effectively removes the itch from 'roids too (you read that right). It feels great and removes the itch for usually the entire day.

    I have eczema. I can say that while watching the video I wasn’t itching uncontrollably, actually I didn’t scratch at all because I have had to find ways to ignore and itch to protect my skin. However I have had moments when I can’t stop. There is nothing like having an itch you can’t get rid of. It spreads and spreads. There’s no stopping it. There’s been moments where I want to bite my arm off to get rid of it (but obviously I’m not actually going to do something like that). So it can get out of control. I have steroids to help but sometimes they don’t. I have cried trying to ignore an itch multiple times. The other day at work I had a bug bite on my eczema prone arm. I had to leave work because it was unbearable.

    • @siddharthm3958
      @siddharthm3958 5 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      Well i think itch is caused by unwanted chemical entering the skin
      So what happens is when we scratch is we are basically diluting the foreign chemical with moisture on our skin
      So whenever when you feel like big itching like(ant sting = ant injects formic acid which causes that terrible pain) apply water (diluting the chemical) on that part of skin or atleast saliva😂 its a lot better than the rash left after scratching

    I live with this issue every day. I’ve scratched so much in places I bleed & get scares & they continue to itch.
    Something I found can kinda help is during a big itch try running your itch under cold or warm water. The sensation of the temperature change can help to calm down the stimulated itch. Once your itch comes back to room temp it might start again but by then hopefully you’ve taken your mind off it enough & can continue with your time.

      I have atopic dermatitis and it’s so frustrating and feels like absolute hell… I’ve had this for 6-7 years now. It’s recently been horribly flaring up. I have a friend who went through this type offlare up across the entire body before me and she says she’s healed now so I’m hoping that’ll it’ll mostly heal up soon as well. Also, it’s not bugs, and like 7 Cioc said it’s an autoimmune disease. My brother has psoriasis (he’s been taking consistently medications in form of a shot and he’s been getting a lot better which is really good!) Sometimes, I wake up in the middle of the night feeling as if my skin is burning and it’s just so itchy…
      Cheers to us hopefully getting better soon.

    But why do wounds itch so much?? It's very unpleasant to scratch and can cause severe pain. Yet, no matter if it's a paper cut or a deeper wound, it's always itchy when healing.
    Does the body mistake scabbing or skin tightening while healing as a outside threat like a parasite? Seems counter productive!

    • @darkmario720

Think of when a wild cat cleans itself with its tongue, their tongue is not by any means the cleanest thing in the world but it's better than whatever is on their body.
