I guess I have just itched a lot for my entire life, so I just scratch and don’t really think about it. But it was recently brought to my attention by someone, and I realized that I am scratching constantly. Like all over my body. I’ll scratch my leg, then my head itches, then the back of my hand, then my cheek, then my arm, and so on and so on, every few seconds. I might scratch 10 or 20 spots within a minute. I think I might stop scratching if I’m really focused on something, but if I start thinking about my itching, then it just keeps happening. And like I said, I think this has been going on for my entire life, but I never really paid much attention to it. Is this normal?

    Do you have skin rashes? Do you have any “skin disease”?

    I have to warn you from personal experience, if you investigate with a doctor or whatever the system will declare you fucked for life. It’s easy to step into this trap.

    Learn about nutrition and lifestyle (counter sedentary lifestyle with sports).

    Increase your high quality protein. Add to that natural vitamin c source. At least once per week eat cod liver with its oil. Decrease carbohydrate intake.

    Do cardio.
