I feel itchy all over when I sleep at night

What do you do before going to bed? Are you playing with your phone, playing games, thinking about what happened today, or doing nothing and lying quietly in bed waiting to fall asleep? Everyone has their own sleeping habits. I think they can be roughly divided into two categories: those who fall asleep quickly and those who fall asleep slowly. There are many reasons why people fall asleep slowly, one of which is feeling itchy and irritable all over before going to bed. This situation is rare but it does happen. Let's take a look at what's going on.

There are many reasons for skin itching. It may be caused by dry weather or skin diseases. Certain systemic diseases can also cause skin itching when sleeping at night. What should you do if your skin itches at night? Methods to relieve itching 1. If your skin itches when you sleep at night, you should first find out the cause of the itching. If it happens in spring, it may be caused by allergies. The cause of the allergy may be pollen, it may also be an allergy to underwear, or it may be an allergy to food.

2. To treat itching caused by allergic diseases, you must first remove the allergens. If the allergy is not too serious, you can take some anti-allergic drugs orally. If the allergy is more serious and systemic, you can also achieve the treatment goal through intravenous injection of anti-allergic drugs such as calcium gluconate, vitamin C, dexamethasone and other drugs.

3. The reason for itching on your body when sleeping at night may also be caused by scabies. Scabies mainly occurs in areas where the skin is relatively delicate, such as the roots of the thighs, between the fingers, etc. One of the characteristics of scabies is that the itching is particularly severe after feeling hot when sleeping at night.

4. Scabies is highly contagious and can be transmitted to family members and people who have close contact with the patient. When treating scabies, you need to apply the medicine all over your body. However, since scabies does not usually occur on the face, it is best to apply the medicine to the entire skin below the neck.

Ointments for treating scabies include scabies cream, lindane cream and other medicines. Scabies usually requires full body application of medication for 3 days, once a day. After three days, you can take a bath, change clothes, bed sheets, quilt covers, etc. The clothes and bedding that have been taken off need to be washed in boiling water. After scabies is cured, the itchy feeling will gradually disappear.

If scabies becomes infected due to scratching, the local infection can usually be treated with an anti-inflammatory ointment, such as mupirocin ointment, but it should not be used by people who are allergic to penicillin. Erythromycin ointment can be used. If the infection is more severe, oral or intravenous antibiotics may be used for treatment.

In autumn, the weather is relatively dry, and some people with dry skin may feel itchy skin when they sleep at night. One solution is to apply moisturizer after taking a shower. When taking a bath, it is best to use clean water and avoid using soap, perfumed soap and other toiletries.

5. Certain chronic diseases can also cause itchy skin when sleeping at night, such as uremia and other diseases. After the cause of the disease is eliminated, the itchy skin will gradually disappear.
