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?
Hygiene marketing by big soap has done a number on a lot of people. If it’s winter and I’m not getting dirty/sweaty I’ll go day or three without a shower. I always have a shower if going to meet people or I’ve got, say, a medical appointment.
I’m in the opposite camp, if I don’t shower daily - even when I don’t need it - I feel either dry skinned or covered in filth.
I’m a greasy person tho, just, like, deep down inside me there’s a large pepperoni pizza or something.
Yeah, there’s no one size fits all solution. When I was living in Thailand I’d have a quick cold rinse twice a day because of the humidity.
