This is a new Nepali movie based on a street business. In this movie we can see a street doctor who used to go home to home for solving itching problems. Anyone have itching problem here is a itching solution. He is not a P.H.D. educated doctor. He seems like uneducated. After a girl call him in her home for medicine. He goes there and give him a oil (medical liquid) solution.
if you have a itching problem it's better to consult a doctor rather believing like this street doctor.
Itchy skin, also known as pruritus, is an irritating and uncontrollable sensation that makes you want to scratch to relieve the feeling. The possible causes for itchiness range from internal illnesses, such as kidney or liver disease, to skin rashes, allergies, and dermatitis.
It’s important to see a doctor for itchiness if the cause isn’t obvious. A doctor can find the underlying cause and provide treatments for relief. Several home remedies such as over-the-counter creams and moisturizers work well for itching.
Causes of Itching
Itchiness can be generalized (all over the body) or localized to one small region or spot. The possible causes are numerous and varied. It may be a result of something very serious, such as kidney failure or diabetes (though uncommon), or can come from something less severe, such as dry skin or insect bites (more likely).
Skin Conditions
Many skin conditions that are common can cause itchy skin. The following can affect any area of skin on the body:
dermatitis: inflammation of the skin
eczema: a chronic skin disorder that includes itchy, scaly rashes
psoriasis: an autoimmune disease that causes skin redness and irritation, usually in the form of plaques
dermatographism: a raised, red, itchy rash caused by pressure on the skin
Infections that cause itching include:
chicken pox
measles
fungal rashes
mites, including bedbugs
lice
pinworms
scabies
Irritants
Substances that irritate the skin and make it itchy are common. Plants such as poison ivy and oak and insects such as mosquitoes produce substances that cause itching. Some people get itchy when in contact with wool, perfumes, certain soaps or dyes, and chemicals. Allergies, including food allergies, can irritate the skin as well.
Internal Disorders
Some internal diseases that may be very serious cause itching. The following diseases may cause generalized itching, but the skin usually appears normal:
liver disease
anemia
leukemia
thyroid disease
lymphoma
kidney failure
Nervous System Disorders
Other diseases can cause itching as well, especially those that affect the nerves. These include:
diabetes
multiple sclerosis
shingles
neuropathy
Medications
The following common medicines often cause rashes and widespread itching:
antifungals
antibiotics (especially sulfa-based antibiotics)
narcotic painkillers
anti-convulsant medications
Home Care for Itching
At home, there are several things you can do to prevent and relieve itchy skin. Try:
using a good moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated
avoiding scratching, which can worsen the itch
staying away from soaps, detergents, and other substances that contain perfumes and color dyes
taking a cool bath with oatmeal or baking soda
rying over-the-counter anti-itch creams
taking an oral antihistamine
Most itching is treatable and doesn’t indicate a serious problem. However, it’s best to check with your doctor to confirm a diagnosis and treatment.
