Human skin can experience allergies from many objects or substances, one of which is nickel.Nickel is often the cause of allergic reactions in humans.Nickel is found in many products that are touched every day, such as cellphones, glasses, jewelry, or even zippers.

This itching is called psychogenic itching.
Psychogenic itching is a skin disorder that is often triggered or made worse by psychological factors, rather than caused by physical or dermatological (skin-related) factors.
There are three general categories of psychogenic itching, namely primary skin conditions accompanied by itching such as eczema or urticaria (hives);worsening of the severity of skin conditions (psoriasis or eczema), and psychiatric disorders that cause itching.
These are some of the causes of itchy skin that doesn’t go away.Itching that is felt to appear continuously and does not heal, needs to be overcome and receive appropriate treatment.
