nerves sometimes 'short-circit' and give you a reaction it soould not. like turning on a light in the living room and the tv fuzzing. how about a eye twitch,same concept.

Am not a medical personel, but my mom is. From what I know,\nthe surface of the wound is healed, but there is incomplet healing\ninternaly. Itching is a sign of incomplete healing.\n\nI would also say that you stop scratching it too hard so as to\navoid agravating the wound. Is there a thick hard scar? If there\nis, then I sugest you have it cut and treated by a specialist.\n\nHope my answer will be helpful to you. Goodluck.

Well, I've never gotten pox and I'm 12 so...I don't know umm...try hard not to scratch, maybe take a shower so you won't feel really itchy? Personally, what I would do if I ever /had/ the chicken pox is tie my hands behind my back.(I'm serious, I would.)

yes, definitely.  I have had 2 that stand out in my mind.  \n\n1.  I grew up in a so called haunted house, but it was not scary.  I was about 14 years old and was lying in bed.  It was nighttime and I was lying in semi darkness.  I suddenly saw a shadow like figure float up my doorway, to the wall, and to the ceiling. I had no idea what this was and hid under the blankets.  The next day, I watched the show 20-20 when there was an episode about how ghosts show themselves as shadows..I had no idea that was true...until then..\n2.  My great grandmother had died and about 5 months after this, my infant daughter's room instantly smelled of Chanel 5 perfume.  Since I never wear perfume because my allergies cant take it, and she wore this, I suddenly thought of her.... then almost 5 seconds later, it disappeared.\n3.  The haunted house I grew up in, things regularly fell off shelves, tv and stereos came on in the middle of the night,  heard footsteps on the stairs, heard my name being called when no one was home, and other things happened quite a bit.

I was shocked when I started itching uncontrollably.A week went by and the itching increased to the point of insanity.I took a close look and was astonished to see tiny specks attached to me pubic hairs.I was horrified when I looked closer and seen these tiny beast that looked like crabs mixed with a bug.I was young and that's my story and I am sticking to it.

I have heard several different explanations. Some are more scientific than others. It used to be that some doctors thought itching was actually a slight form of pain, but this is not believed to be the case by most folks today. \nSome believe that irritants landing on the skin cause itching, but itching can also be caused by skin stretching too quickly (which often happens during pregnancy) or is too dry. \nSome people think to remedy skin itching taking zinc or using lotions will ease the symptoms. Others suggest running cold water on itches or hot water on itches. I have also heard of people alternating super hot water to kill the initial itch, and follow it quickly with colder water. Doctors tend to discourage use of hot water, as it dries the skin further and since lack of moisture is one reason to have itching, keeps a vicious cycle going.\nBut all of this does not generally answer what an itch is. Most medical definitions are not helpful in that respect, and it was years before I got any sort of real illumination on this issue. It wasn’t till I took zoology and genetics that one of my professors finally made it clearer.\n I was lead to believe by my professor that it was really mostly a case of a sodium build up around the mylination around your nerves that is overloading your nerve endings in that area. Scratching provides a way to break up the sodium deposit and realign the elemental/mineral concentration to a more normal level. So an itch is a build up or change in the flow of chemicals that surround the nerve sheaths, causing the nerves to react in the skin. \n\nThat said, scratching while nice initially often damages the skin and can lead to cyclical scratch/itch/scratch issues, that further irritate the skin and cause greater damage.

Dear Lord I am scared of spiders and ticks.  I had a cousin that got Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever from a tick bite when I was little.  I've been scared of anything with a bunch of legs that looks spider like since then.  I couldn't get in the shower the other day because a spider was in it.  I was late to work because I couldn't get it to wash down the drain.  Sad, but true.

I'm right handed and scratch my left ear with my left hand.  I have never seen anyone do it the way you describe, perhaps you live in some backwards ear scratching land??? :O

lemme tell you a story that happened to me. this is no joke, I'll put my hand on a Bible and tell you this really happened.\nI was in this house that was known for being haunted. I was sitting in the floor, leaning on my arm, just chillin. \nThen I felt something, like a bug or something, crawling on my arm. I looked down. A loose penny from the floor was rolling up my arm all by itself. It got about a foot off the floor, up to my elbow, before I noticed it.\nAs soon as I looked at it, it stopped and feel flat on the floor. I jumped up and ran out.

A recent experience:  April 8, 2006, my nieces' birthday at a restaurant in New Jersey.  While eating a family dinner at the restaurant where my niece works, I felt a bump on my leg from under the table.  Thinking that it was one of her children, I asked him to stop.  I spoke loud enough for the whole table to hear and received many looks and retorts that he was sitting at the other end of the table.  I felt it again on my left leg and then on my right.  There was no one nor anything visible under the table, I asked my niece if the place was haunted, she said "Yes!"  I found out later that many people have had similar experiences.  I was thinking of asking "Ghost Hunters" to check it out, but I don't think the owner would go for it.\n\nIf you want to hear a lot more, and they are very weird, e-mail me.  I've been thru various and sundry spiritual quests.  They've taken me to the depths of "hell" and, gratefully, to a very deep and profond belief in God.

Sigh. You have hexed yourself! I will now give you a weaker hex for you to practice your skepticism:\n\nYou will be unable to forget what I am about to tell you ever, and when you think you have forgotten the itching it will come beck. The name of the curse is INTOLERABLE ITCH, and you will feel an itch for sure! Itch!\n\nThis is the reverse of the placebo. Its called negative suggestion, and it powers most "magic" and "miracles" used by Christians. I suggest the itch, you look for an itch, you find and magnify an itch.\n\nThere is something similar with more dire consequences used by priests and most witches where they suggest that something bad will happen, and then you blame the next bad thing that happens on whatever you did against the church or the pagan. The rain would have fallen anyway, but now you have something to blame it on. The witches call it the Evil Eye, whereas the priests prefer Wrath of God. Only true believers are effected: skeptics don't feel the effects.\n\nIn the event that you don't itch, your skepticism is strong enough. If not, practice disbelieving the first half of what I said and believing the second half! And Travis, I don't think God cares much about who tells the truth, or if he does he does not show it. Lawyers and politicians would cause flash floods in D.C.!

You could have a pinched nerve in your back causing this problem. The itching can be a side effect. Stop itching and use anti-itch cream like lanacane if you have to. The red marks are from you scratching so hard, you can't feel how hard your scratching and are breaking blood vessels under the skin. I recommend you go see a doctor.

No. But I have had past experiences with ghosts and currently I have one that likes to make a noise in my ear, it almost sounds like someone is shuffling cards and it always touches my head at the same time. The strange thing is that it happened to me when I lived in Beverly, then I moved to S. Hamilton and it is happening here so whatever it is followed me.\nI would love to hear more about it though

The dirt and grime under your nails comes from about anything you come into contact with. Mostly, however, it is dead skin. Even when you believe that you have not touch anything it is not uncommon to scratch an itch with out even knowing you did.
