Whenever I eat spicy food, my scalp starts to itch and also when I go out in sun. why so?
In certain spicy foods, there is an active chemical called microptaprotomerase that is easily absorbed into the blood stream. It has no harmful effect on most regions of the body, however once it reaches the head area, it travels to the hair follicles and accumulates on the scalp. This is what causes your itchy skin.on the other hand,there can beCholinergic Urticaria(chronic heat hives) signs because of spicy foods.Signs and Symptoms of Cholinergic Urticaria (Chronic Heat HivesIndividuals with Cholinergic Urticaria often have no symptoms at all when they are not being exposed to a heat stimulus. They can function normally and appear to be healthy. They only begin to exhibit symptoms when they are exposed to the physical stimulus (i.e. heat).Once the individuals body temperature rises (as a result from exercise, anxiety, nervousness, etc.), he or she may start immediately going into a hives reaction as a response to the heat (and subsequent acetylcholine release). Symptoms usually appear quickly, and may persist until the individual either cools down (reduces body temperature), the individual sweats, or the reaction subsides on its own.Most of these symptoms occur simultaneously, and may persist for several minutes. In addition, a person may experience these symptoms any time they are exposed to the heat stimulus, and may have multiple reactions per day. Below is a video explaining the signs and symptoms of heat hives:1.Uncomfortable Sensation when warming2.Extreme Itching3.A Prickly “tingle” sensation4.Burning sensation on the skin5.Flushing of the skin6.Pinpoint Hives7.Small Wheals or Raised Welts

What are the red dots that appear on my body after I shower?
A shower may leave your skin clean, but if your skin itches after you shower, you probably find them more enervating than refreshing. How you ease this irritating itch depends on what causes it. If you're prone to allergies, your itchy skin might result from your soap, your perspiration or even the water itself. An overly hot shower that dries your skin could also leave you scratching.It may seem paradoxical to develop dry skin from standing under a blast of water, but a hot shower parches your skin as the water evaporates. Your skin naturally produces oil that acts as a barrier between skin and the harsh environment of the outside world. Hot water sluices this oil from your skin, stripping it of its protection and leaving it feeling dry, tight and itchy.If you take long, hot showers and your itching is most severe on your lower legs and forearms, dry skin is the likely culprit for your discomfort. Scale back the heat, take a shorter shower and try a moisturizer on affected skin to ease the itch.Hope this helps!

Why my body starts itching whenever go outside in sunlight or in hot weather?
I am not a doctor or i don’t know the exact body condition of yours.In general,If you are a person with dry skin, you cannot bath in hot water. You can bath warm water or cold water.If you have dry skin, normally the sunlight will give you the itching. Simple solution for that is apply some coconut oil and go out. It will be alright. It is very old age method. Or you can apply sun screen lotion also. But take care selecting the right sun screen lotion.
Why does my body itch after taking my bath?
Because you're doing everything wrong. Don't worry and it's not personal —everyone does.First, soap. It is alkaline and rips out too much of your skin moisture along with the daily bodily juices and dirt and all. Use instead a low pH soap substitute. “Perfume-free” and “natural” and “"added anything “ is still soap.Second your water is too hot. I'm not saying you must have cold showers only less hot. You'll get used to it. “But I love how i feel while under a hot shiwer”. And suffer for it.When washing your crockery do you use warm or hot water? Hot. Why? because it gets the oils out. OhThird, rehydrate. Apply a thin oil layer within two minutes of coming out of your shower (and patting dry not rubbing). People with really troublesome dry skin can make up a mix of Vaseline with say ten percent liquid paraffin.You probably sleep too hot like most of us. Waking in the night if you discover your skin is swesting that proves it. That breaks down the skin as you would guess.And we shampoo too frequently too. I'm not advocating extreme “"trust the rain” but certainly not daily. your scalp might be quite happy with a non-shampoo water rinse most of the time.
Why do I get itchy randomly all over my body when I'm angry/frustrated/sweating?
Well, itching is a sign of anxiety, don’t worry, you’re not dying. When you get angry or frustrated or frightened, your body responds by pumping blood faster, and you will get overly sensitive to respond to stimulus. This can cause itching. When I’m confronted with a social situation I’m afraid of entering, I will start itching furiously all over my scalp, back, and arms. I feel like I want to rip all the skin off my body, and I can’t move without great difficulty, I feel hot and cold at the same time.But maybe it’s not that. I would recommend seeing a qualified health professional.
