    I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE???

    But seriously though there’s something about a palm being itchy, especially the thicker pad where the hand begins to transition into the wrist that just is so much more persistent than anywhere else.

    Only after cutting up bell peppers without using gloves. The stabbing itch from that is unlike anything else I know.

    People have itchy palms? Itchy enough that they bite them?

    That’s fucking weird.

    That’s literally never happened to me, it sounds super strange. Are y’all putting stuff on your hands that’s tearing up your skin? Do you moisturize regularly?

    I have sensitive skin, but spend a lot of time in a kitchen with wet hands. Unscented soap to wash my hands about a dozen times a day, and unscented moisturizer to keep my skin from cracking. I’ll use a thicker waxy moisturizer during the winter when it’s really dry out.

    I use my hands for weightlifting and golf, so I have to manage my callouses, and in the kitchen I’ll pick up various small cuts and burns. My hands don’t look perfect but they’ve never… itched?

      Your comment makes you seem shocked like a victorian era man seeing a woman’s bare ankle in public.

        I don’t know why, but ok?

        Itchy palms sounds more like an allergic reaction than a common issue.

          That’s a good example of what i mean. Allergic reactions are common issues.

          It’s normal to not have an itch and it’s normal to itch. Both can be true simultaneously and neither is weird.

          Granted it’s a comment on Lemmy but at a larger scale this kind of incredulous comment can reinforce stigmas.

            Having itchy palms because of an allergy might happen commonly in terms of a large population, but it is not common to have this condition. If it happens to you then you should get it looked at instead of biting them. This is the correct and acceptable response. Putting your hands in your mouth and using your teeth because something is wrong with your palms does not need to be normalized.

            If people have itchy palms for any reason, I’m not shaming them. I’m pointing out that putting your hands in your mouth is strange.

              Meh, like yeah if it’s happening a lot and you have a inflammation/rash/broken skin then yeah get that checked.

              Don’t know a doctor who will give the time of day if i show up saying, “my hand was itchy for two minutes a couple weeks ago and this happens a handful of times a year and it feels good if i use my teeth to dig in”…

    I might have tried it once when I was a kid but it’s not as effective as a fingernail so once was enough.
