Internal Barometer of Badness

While itch in and of itself is not necessarily harmful, chronic itch can sometimes be an indication of an underlying medication problem.

If you have been experiencing a new onset of itching for more than 6 weeks, it’s important to see your doctor to determine if your itching is related to another condition. Chronic itching can be associated with many skin disorders such as eczema and hives, but also many other medical conditions including allergic reactions or neurological dysfunction. In some cases, itch may be among the first symptoms of organ dysfunction or cancers.
