Western medicine etiology: The pathogenic factors are relatively complex, but in terms of itching, it is mainly caused by chemical mediators and the release of histamine, kinin and protease. Generalized pruritus is often a skin symptom of certain systemic diseases such as diabetes, hepatobiliary diseases, visceral tumors, chronic renal insufficiency, abnormal thyroid function, habitual constipation, intestinal parasitic diseases, autoimmune diseases, etc. It can also be caused by pregnancy, neuropsychiatric factors, eating spicy and irritating foods, wearing synthetic fabrics close to the body, climate changes (hot, cold, humid, dry), and biological or chemical stimulation in the working environment. In addition to the above factors, localized skin itching is often caused by local factors such as epidermophyton disease, enterobiasis, hemorrhoids, leucorrhea, sweating, clothing friction, local material stimulation, etc.
