There are many reasons why skin rashes itch, most of the time it is the bodies reaction to something that doesn't belong there. Whether it is a bug bite, poison ivy, or something that you are allergic too. All these things make your body react to that area of the skin and give it an itching sensation. You can say that the itching is a early warning sign that something is wrong, whether it is a bug bite or some type of skin disease. That can sometimes be a good thing because normally things that happen to your body that don't give you symptoms you notice it often goes unchecked, and that can be dangerous.

I get ichy rash and its painful as well being inflamed it comes up out of the blue I cannot pin point the cause its all over my body, ie back of my calves, shins, stomach, back lower and some upper toward shoulders on my inside of forearm and top of arms, tops of my legs down to my knee around my thigh area outside mainly and a couple of patches on the inside a little on my face around my eyes and sometimes down my jawline under my ears, it comes and goes and sometimes it only flares up on my arms not my legs then sometimes on my legs not my arms then sometimes just on my face and then sometimes all over its totally driving me crazy I have been to specialist and they say discoid dermatitis which I have used strong topical ointments which yes do work but because it fares up all the time all over for no reason and sometimes a reason if Im really tired or stressed perhaps it hard putting so much of this ointment on continually and then my skin thins and now its so thin at the age of 42 it tears easily if my dog puts her paw on me it then bleeds then bruises so all the cortisone and steroid creams and ointments are just damaging my skin but the worse thing is it still comes and goes regardless of how much or how little I use. The steroid ointments just get rid of that patch quicker but then it comes back again so yes it must be caused by internal reaction because it flares up everywhere but then sometimes just the certain areas ie arms, legs or face as well so Iam baffled and have spent so much time with doctors etc but to be honest they just say the same thing its dermatitis.
