Bhargava Dolichos tablets for Dryness of skin & intense itching

Homeopathy Dolichos tablets (Senile Pruritus)

Senile pruritus, also known as senile itch or elderly pruritus, refers to persistent itching that commonly affects older individuals. It's characterized by an intense and uncomfortable itching sensation on the skin, which can lead to scratching, skin damage, and sometimes infection. While senile pruritus can occur in various parts of the body, it often affects the extremities, such as the arms and legs.

Several factors contribute to senile pruritus:

1. Skin Changes: As people age, their skin undergoes various changes, including thinning, reduced oil production, and decreased moisture retention. These changes can lead to dry and irritated skin, which is more prone to itching.

2. Reduced Blood Flow: Diminished blood flow to the skin as a result of aging can contribute to dryness and itching.

3. Underlying Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions more common in older individuals, such as diabetes, kidney disease, and thyroid disorders, can cause or exacerbate itching.

4. Medications: Older adults often take multiple medications, some of which may have itching as a side effect.

5. Neurological Changes: Changes in nerve function that occur with age can affect how the brain perceives and responds to itch signals.

6. Environmental Factors: Factors like low humidity, exposure to hot water, and harsh soaps can contribute to dry skin and itching.

It's important for older adults experiencing senile pruritus to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance. The healthcare provider can assess the individual's medical history, perform necessary tests, and recommend appropriate treatments to address the underlying causes and provide relief from itching.
