For sure one of the top 10 unexpected benefits of transitioning for me. Stubble makes for a good scratcher.

I'm ready for someone to tell me which disease this is.

Same for me. Hopefully OP DOESN'T have it, I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

I started getting scalp excema a few years ago that's primarily triggered by stress and sweating and it's the absolute worst. I have long hair that's extremely important to me but fucking excema makes me want to cut it all off sometimes

Nerve damage, or in my case a combination of neuropathy and carpal tunnel. Most of the itching has gone away since I had carpal tunnel release surgery.

Omg! That explains the itching in my 20's! Stopped typing a lot (coding) and haven't had itching in many years.

... Its not so much that I get some kind of itch that requires chomping to sate, its that my mouth is almost a hand, and sometimes my other hand is holding something or otherwise occupied.

I did last year, it lasted days, if not a week. I eventually took some toe nail clipers(sterilized them) and cut out a layer of skin.

Scratched that itch.

You wouldn't happen to not have (decent) health insurance, would you?

Y'all don't use some rough fabric to do it? Like a couch or jeans or canvas or something like that? That's how I do it.

The only time in my whole life that this happened was two summers back when I ate at Subway. Had a breaded chicken sub, and about 3hrs later the itching started. I didn't really realize what was going on until next my hands themselves started getting puffy.

Popped an anti-histamine and things cooled down over the next couple hours. Never ate at Subway again

We're trying to reach deeper under the skin. It's not a moisture problem.
