chronic itching

Unrelenting skin irritation

Chronic itching is persistent itchiness lasting weeks or months, often without visible cause.

The condition can stem from skin disorders, allergies, nerve damage, or systemic diseases, but sometimes defies diagnosis.

Unlike acute itching from a bug bite or rash, chronic itching becomes its own medical problem: The chronic itching kept her awake for months.
