Modern medical knowledge
The cause of the disease is complicated. Experiments have proved that there are itch receptors in human skin, which are transmitted to the brain through nerve endings. The release of histamine from the affected part can promote itching. Scratching itching can relieve itching because of tenderness, but it can also promote the release of more histamine, aggravate itching, form a vicious circle of itching-scratching, and lead to more serious skin damage and inflammation.
