Why do people itch?

[Havoc11]

I don't know.

[Mars]

Because shedding like a snake is overrated.

It is actually quite effective when getting rid of acne, but cannot do anything about the itching.

Only some parasites do this, like the worms some children suffer from.



and evolutionary it's better to itch and then scratch yourself, than to have nerve endings not sensitive enough to detect actual irritants.

Similarly our eyes see things that aren't really there, but false alarms are better than not managing to see that angry lion in the bushes.

Bull frick
In the winter my skin is so dry and cracks and peels its awful
And in the summer my skin unleashes its ugly and I walk around like a pizza

Some parasites make you itch because it's to their evolutionary benefit. You scratch the infected area, and then spread the disease around in your hand or ingest them so they can complete their lifecycle.

Thanks. Quite comforting to know that I'm slowly being devoured by microscopic parasites who use a frequent everyday action to their advantage.

Only if you have worms or something.
