Persistent itching across various parts of the body, including legs, hands, and sensitive areas can be quite uncomfortable, and if it’s leading to wounds, it’s important to investigate further. There are several potential causes that you might consider. One common cause might be dry skin, which can be helped by using moisturizing creams regularly, especially after bathing. If dry skin is not the culprit, consider whether you’ve been exposed to any new soaps, detergents, or lotions that might be irritating your skin. These can often cause allergic reactions leading to itching. Insect bites or infestations like scabies or lice can also cause widespread itching; if any small bumps or red tracks appear, this could be possible. Systemic causes like liver disease, kidney dysfunction, or diabetes can sometimes present as generalized itching - so it’s worth considering if there’s any other symptoms or health changes you’ve noticed lately. Over-the-counter antihistamines might help ease some itching temporarily, but they won’t resolve the underlying issue. If the itching is intense, persistent, or accompanied by other symptoms like jaundice, weight loss, or fatigue, it’s important to see a healthcare provider. They may perform tests to rule out systemic issues, or prescribe stronger treatments like corticosteroids or specific creams if needed. Skin infections are also possible if the itching is causing open wounds, and you may need antibiotics. Always keep the itching areas clean and avoid scratching as much as possible to prevent any further damage or potential infection. Seeing a doctor for a proper diagnosis would be a crucial step in managing this condition effectively and safely.

Hello Arjun By going through your history and evaluation of your health status I must say that Itching on your legs, hands, and genital area that sometimes turns into wounds can have several causes, such as dry skin, allergies, fungal infections, or even eczema. Since the itching is widespread and causing wounds, it’s important to address it early to prevent infection and further discomfort. What you can do at home: - Keep the skin clean and dry:Gently wash the affected areas with mild soap and water, and pat dry. - Moisturize: Use a fragrance-free moisturizer after bathing to prevent dryness. - Avoid scratching: Try not to scratch, as this can cause wounds and increase the risk of infection. - Wear loose, cotton clothing: This helps reduce irritation and sweating. - Cool compress:Applying a cool, damp cloth can help relieve itching.
