itchies
Need to scratch
Itchies is an informal noun for an uncomfortable sensation of itching, or for things that cause such sensations.
It often appears with the definite article: The wool sweater gave me the itchies.
The term suggests a mild but persistent irritation rather than a single localized itch, and carries a casual, sometimes childish tone.
