If you are suffering from itchy skin it may be because of a number of reasons. From a flea bite to serious conditions like psoriasis, itchy skin can be caused by different medical conditions. The best way to understand it is by diagnosing the itchy skin symptoms. Consulting a doctor will be an ideal way to treat itchy skin symptoms and get a prognosis on what steps to take to control the itchiness.

However, it is not  often  possible to get hold of a doctor. You must be aware of these daily routines that will help you to control itchiness.

• Use a good quality moisturizing lotion:  Apply a high-quality or a medicinal moisturizing lotion to the itchy areas at least once a day.
• Use creams and gels that have a cooling effect on your skin:  Try to use creams and gels that are based on cucumber, aloe vera, mint, and lemon that produce a cooling effect on the skin.
• Avoid items that make your skin itch more:  Try to avoid using clothes or foods or conditions that aggravate the itchiness.
• Apply anti-itch cream or lotion to the affected area:  Anti-itch creams are easily available in a pharmaceutical store. Buy one and apply to the affected area at least 2-3 times daily.

You will get relief from itchy skin symptoms if you follow these common remedies. But if the itchiness persists, it is recommended that you consult a doctor.
