When you scratch, it will inflame it even more and you are triggering the release of histamine further . This histamine mediates the itchy characteristics of the skin problem.

Continuous or repeated scratching will result to lichenification of the skin , which is basically is a feature of thick skin . It is best that you keep your skin moisturized at all times to prevent this from happening especially on the affected areas or on the areas where you usually have the skin problem . You can do this by utilizing creams, lotions and soaps that are rich with moisturizers. The best time to moisturize is when you just come out of the shower when there are still a bit of water on your skin. Just make sure that you take off the excess water by pat drying with a towel.
