What Causes Intense Itching And Biting Within Body?
Question: I'm experiencing intense itching and biting within my body what could be the diagnosis?
Brief Answer:
liver issues
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Intense itching is often caused by a blockage of bile that builds up in the tissues and causes itching and sometimes burning. It could also be an imbalance of electrolytes. In either case you need to see your doctor and get an exam and lab tests done as soon as possible.
Let me know if you have further questions.
