Several factors can cause itching and the
urge to scratch your itching skin is a natural phenomenon and some of these sure-fire
home-remedies are bound to help. But did you know that even
stress can contribute and aggravate your itch? A new
study has found that stress can activate immune cells in your skin and cause the familiar yet irritating sensation. Immune cells in the skin over-react resulting in inflammatory skin diseases. Though it is not clear how stress aggravates skin diseases, researchers led by Petra Arck of Charité, University of Medicine, Berlin and McMaster University in Canada, hypothesised that stress could exacerbate skin disease by increasing the number of immune cells in the skin.
