Itchy skin can drive you mad, especially when it keeps returning without clear cause. While eczema, psoriasis, or fungal infections might be obvious culprits, other lesser-known triggers often fly under the radar. Understanding these hidden causes is the first step toward lasting relief—and QICAOGANGMU Herbal Cream might be your best natural defense.

1. Hidden Allergens in Everyday Products

Many soaps, detergents, and even so-called "sensitive skin" cosmetics contain allergens like:

• Fragrances and parabens
• Preservatives like methylisothiazolinone
• Nickel in razors or jewelry

These ingredients can spark contact dermatitis, often confused with eczema or fungal infections.

2. Heat, Sweat, and Fabric Irritation

Hot, humid environments can trap sweat and bacteria against your skin. Add tight clothing or synthetic fabrics, and you’ve got the perfect storm for rashes, especially under folds of skin or in the groin, neck, or elbow area.

3. Dietary Triggers: What You Eat Matters

Food allergies and intolerances aren’t just about stomachaches—they can show up on your skin. Common culprits include:

• Dairy (linked to eczema flare-ups)
• Gluten
• Eggs, soy, and processed foods

If you notice rashes after eating certain foods, try an elimination diet or consult an allergist.

4. Stress and Hormonal Fluctuations

Psychological stress alters immune function and increases cortisol, worsening skin inflammation. Women may also experience cyclical flare-ups due to hormonal changes, particularly around menstruation or menopause.

5. Fungal Infections That Mimic Eczema

Itchy red patches in the groin, feet, or armpits might not be eczema—they could be tinea infections (ringworm, jock itch, athlete’s foot). Unlike eczema, these are contagious and require antifungal treatment.

6. Your Skin Barrier May Be Compromised

Repeated exposure to harsh chemicals, overwashing, or chronic scratching can weaken the skin barrier. When this happens, allergens and microbes can easily penetrate, creating a cycle of inflammation.
