[|Human|] How low does your hemoglobin have to be to cause anemia itching? I have recently had a cbc and my hemoglobin was low. And for the last 5 days I have had itching of my scalp, arms, back and shoulders. It feels like itching prickling. No rash, no redness just itching.
[|AI|]  HiT hanks for your queryBased on your query1. Anemia as such does not cause itching.2. Itching commonly occurs due to allergies, if it is generalized like in your case, may be food allergy or external irritants. 3. You need to rule out jaundice too as it is also one of the causes of itching. Hemolytic anemia will have jaundice as one of the prime presentation.4. You can get relief from itching by taking oral/ parenteral antihistamines. You can use some soothing agents like calamine lotion. Hope this helpsRegards
