How come when you feel an itch at a certain spot, you cannot
relieve it by scratching there? Instead you have to scratch another
spot?[/b]
e area of skin tat is most sensitive to touch is, the lips,
mouth, followed by ur hands...(therefore you gain a lot of pleasure
from eating!)
other than tat, other areas of ur skin is not tat sensitive, eg
compare it w your heels, u can feel things better with ur fingers,
esp fingertips.
so if u have an itch in an area that is not in acute in its senses,
may it b temperature, pressure, itch or pain, the brain can
mistaken it as another area, but cant b too far from
wrong...usually e area of itch n e area u scratch is quite near
each other...
therefore by scratchin the pseudo-itch, it seems to relief your
real itch...
hope i m talking sense here...
