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.
... 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.
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

This and using my stubble/beard.
For sure one of the top 10 unexpected benefits of transitioning for me. Stubble makes for a good scratcher.
Nice, it certainly is a handy feature I use all the time 😄
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.

Omg! That explains the itching in my 20's! Stopped typing a lot (coding) and haven't had itching in many years.
Fungal infection
For me, it's when I touch hydrocarbons!
Yes, this is exactly what I look like when my hands itch.
It's been a while
good times hey

My grandmother used to say when your palm itches it means someone’s going to give you money
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?
DRINK WATER YA DEHYDRATED SLUTS
I use my beard stubble for it. Feels so good
Ooh that one too!
Like I suddenly have a needle in my palm
I have. It takes the deep relief.

Yeah you had an allergic reaction to all of the Subway in the Subway you ate.
Yup. From neuropathy. Sucks.
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.
Not rough enough in my experience
I had chronic urticaria, very severe hives for two years, itch is hell
Cheese grater works every time
This is what a pocket knife is for.
Moisturise motherfuckers
We're trying to reach deeper under the skin. It's not a moisture problem.
