Wondering what’s got you scratching your skin? Here are some common causes and treatments
MILD ITCH & RED PATCHES
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition where your body makes too much skin, leading to scaly red patches that are often more obvious on your elbows and knees.
“It can arise at any age and can be associated with arthritis and metabolic syndrome (an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease),” says Dr. Michael Rich from Enrich Clinic in Melbourne.
WHAT TO DO
Treatment options include light therapy (UVB) and prescribed medications, including biologics, which help regulate your immune system.
PRICKLY, INTENSE ITCH
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Eczema
Eczema is a non-contagious, inflammatory skin condition.
“Eczema can come on at any age and makes the skin dry, red and itchy,” explains Dr. Rich.
“The itch leads to scratching, which can become habitual so it’s very important to get your eczema under control before an ongoing scratch cycle sets in.”
