What are the causes of itching?
Itching can be caused by:
1. Body lice
2. Scabies
3. Hookworms
4. Herpes
5. Insect bites
6. Yeast infection

10. Polycythemia
11. Parathyroid gland issues
12. Uremia
13. Liver issues
14. Cholestasis
15. Dry skin
Diabetes and polycythemia can cause itching due to poor circulation. Overactive parathyroid glands lead to excessive calcium, affecting nerves and causing itchiness. Liver issues and cholestasis can impair bile salt production, causing itching. Dry skin is often due to vitamin A or D deficiency. TUDCA and dietary changes can help reduce itching in liver conditions.
