Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been experiencing skin itching recently, with patches of red spots appearing. I'm not sure if it's due to neuritis causing my body to itch. After applying some ointment, the itching subsided, but it started again once the effect wore off. I'd like to ask you how the skin becomes itchy when one suffers from "peripheral neuritis"?Doctor's answer:
If there is peripheral neuropathy, this condition mostly manifests as peripheral sensory loss, with the recurrence of numbness or abnormal sensations in the extremities. Generally, there is rarely a recurrence of itching. Currently, this situation should be considered more likely due to the possibility of an allergy. It should be considered that there may be an allergic factor to a certain substance or substances. It is recommended to actively use anti-allergic medications for treatment, which would be much more effective.
