That scratch. It started small—an itch you didn’t say much about. Then it spread. Arms. Chest. Scalp. Scratch after scratch, little relief. Until the itch became an obsession.

He tried everything—creams, allergy meds, oatmeal baths. Nothing stuck. The scratching got worse. His skin turned red, raw, inflamed. His hands shook from exhaustion. Work and life slipped away.

Finally, he went to the doctor. Tests checked for skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. His liver and kidneys were screened, too. Stronger meds offered some relief—but only a bit.

He learned something important: an itch isn’t always harmless. It’s your body trying to signal deeper issues. And that reminder? It hit hard.
