Chronic Itchy Skin Specialists FAQ in Chattanooga, TN

Does itchy skin mean leukemia?

In very rare cases, itchy skin can be caused by a serious underlying condition such as leukaemia. According to our patient survey “Living Well with Leukaemia”, around 9% of people with leukaemia will experience itchy skin as a symptom prior to their diagnosis.

What inflammation causes itching?

While some inflammatory skin diseases such as lupus erythematosus, cellulitis, and pityriasis lichenoides may or may not cause itch, others such as psoriasis and atopic dermatitis (AD) cause moderate-to-severe itch in a majority of the patients. It is important to find the key mediators that cause such differences.

Why am I so itchy but no rash?

Dry skin is a common cause of itchy skin without a rash. In most cases, dry skin is mild. It can result from environmental conditions, such as low humidity and hot or cold weather. It’s also sometimes caused by activities that can decrease moisture in the skin, such as bathing in hot water.

Is neuropathic itch permanent?

Neuropathic itching, however, won’t go away. Worse than that is the fact that it’s common, underrecognized, and often misdiagnosed. With neuropathic itching, nerves in the upper (cervical) spine, likely compressed by vertebrae, cause the itch sensation.

What do dermatologists do for itchy skin?

Oral medications may be recommended alone or with topical treatments. They may include antihistamines, allergy medicines, and steroids. Phototherapy has also been successful in reducing inflammation and soothing some itchy skin.

What was your first leukemia symptom?

Persistent fatigue, weakness. Frequent or severe infections. Losing weight without trying. Swollen lymph nodes, enlarged liver or spleen.

Is itching physical or psychological?

Psychological factors are known to modulate itch in all patients, but there is a specific diagnosis of psychogenic itch that must be proposed cautiously. Neurophysiological and psychological theories are not mutually exclusive and can be used to better understand this disorder. Itch can be mentally induced.

Can spinal problems cause itching?

Spinal nerve compression: Degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, can damage the spinal column. When this happens, nerves can become trapped, and these nerves can generate pain and itchiness.

How do you test for neuropathic itching?

In order to determine the IENFD when neuropathic itch is suspected, a skin sample is obtained via a punch biopsy from non-lesional pruritic skin.

What is borderline lupus?

A doctor may use the phrase “borderline lupus” when symptoms or blood test results suggest lupus, but there is not enough information for a definite diagnosis.

What is the strongest medication for itching?

For mild itching, use calamine lotion. For a more intense itch, use hydrocortisone cream. Oral antihistamines can also help.
