Itching as a sign of disease

Il-prurito-come-segno-di-malattia

Itching, when not short-lived and resolvable soon, but prolonged for a long time can be a warning sign of a disease of the body; including:

  • A blood disease;
  • diabetes;
  • A kidney or liver disease;
  • A hyperthyroidism disorder;
  • An acquired immunodeficiency syndrome such as HIV;

Then investigate itching as a symptom until thorough laboratory tests have ruled out all of the above pathologies.
