Scratching

Okay, so let's talk about scratching! Have you ever had an itch on your arm or leg and just had to scratch it? Well, that's what we mean when we say "scratching"!

When we scratch, we use our fingers or nails to rub or dig into our skin. This can feel really good because it helps to relieve the itchiness. Sometimes, we might scratch without even realizing it because it becomes a habit.

But why do we even need to scratch in the first place? Well, our skin can become irritated or itchy for many reasons. Maybe you got a bug bite or a rash, or maybe your skin got too dry. When we scratch, it can help to get rid of that itchiness and make us feel more comfortable.

However, it's important to remember that scratching too much can actually be bad for our skin. It can cause cuts or infections, and it can make the itchiness worse in the long run. So, while scratching can be helpful sometimes, it's also important to be gentle and not do it too much.
