When to See a Doctor Promptly
Don’t ignore itch that:
- Lasts >6 weeks
- Disrupts sleep
- Comes with fatigue, weight loss, jaundice, swelling, or night sweats
- Spreads or worsens despite moisturizing
Start with gentle care: fragrance-free moisturizers, short lukewarm showers, and humidifiers. But evaluation (blood tests, skin exam) is key to rule out serious causes.
