Why would I lie? I o, heck yeah!
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.
I do, and I’m not even ashamed of it.
But I do a little gnarl and you don’t.
Chin stubble is my hand’s scratching post.
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.
Difficult with my feet.
That’s why you do it with your teeth.
Weirdo.
Me scratching the roof of my mouth with my thumb:
I usually just grab something metal to scratch with
Help me
Every time I see “metal” I think of the parrot that says “metal” or any surface name they touch
My palms do itch so much.
puts itching powder on the small of your back
oh the old make something else worse to relieve the first thing. Don’t know if it will help. Its been itchy like that since puberty.
Old puritan folklore had it that masturbating would cause hair to grow on one’s palm and the intense itching was a sign that someone was doing the deed. Which called for a whooping.
And the whooping is supposed to make me… stop?
Depends…are they wearing leather?
yep. you got it.
It’s the hair growing in
Nope
I don’t even understand what she’s doing. Biting herself as a distraction? Scratching her palm with her teeth? I don’t know anyone who does this.
It’s so itchy you bite it to make that spot painful just for a bit to override the itchiness.
Understanding isn’t necessary. The call to bite is there and it somehow works, so you don’t question it. I don’t grind me teeth to mimic scratching - just bite.
Sometimes scratching just isn’t cutting it, and the human brain is…well it’s something and it tells me bite the itch cause teeth are stronger and you try and it doesn’t help.
Well based on votes I’m in the minority. Never heard of this. Whatever works!
The nails… They tickle… The itch is deeper, towards the bone… USE YOUR TEETH.
Oh, but it does. It helps soooo much. Something about the pinpoint pressure in just the right spot just hits so good… But you can’t just keep biting it forever, and generally the itch comes back again soon after.
sbeve
I do not even understand why would you do it
Sometimes the itch feels so deep that just scratching with your nails doesn’t cut it.
Weirdly it makes it a loss less itchy and feels so good
I wonder if it’s in the saliva.
Damn my dick is itchy 😳
Hawk
loss less itchy
I too only take my itchiness in FLAC
Damn haha
*lot less x)
