What exactly is an 'itch' and why does scratching it make it feel better?

Why does scratching make you feel better when you have a itch?

  • Answer:

    Scratching is a natural response to irritants on or within the skin which actually distracts a person from the irritant by causing a small amount of pain. Sometimes, scratching may actually make a condition worse through promoting inflammation.
