Can Harmone Problems Cause Itchiness?
My wife is 27 years old , she has been getting this strange sudden whole body itch since she was 15... Not frequently , but something like once in 6 months or so ... it stays for a couple of days ... I thought its a hormone problem or food poison .. Any advise please?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Itching is usually a result of allergy - food or chemicals or dust or even some infection. Blood tests and skin allergy test will give a clue. It is unlikely due to a hormonal problem.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help
With warm regards,
